While traveling around 50mph, my revs started to get limited until, before I knew it, I couldn't rev past 1000rpm while in gear first gear,  but if I held the clutch in and revved it was fine. Luckily I could pull in and the roads weren't busy!

No error codes have appeared, I've scanned using my own obd2 scanner and even had a garage confirm it with theirs, neither of us found anything.

Anyone ever have an issue like this?
