Ok, I'm a Star Trek buff, but I don't remember when warp 10 was exceeded that one time. What happened? I remember when the Kelvans took over the Enterprise and it would take hundreds of years to reach Andromeda galaxy, and only their descendants would see it.

That would be Star Trek V, I think, the one where they come back in time to modern-day Earth.

i think that was it, or maybe they refer to trans-warp drive. ST internal consistency is after-the-fact for so much of even new material, not to mention a 40-year old tv show, that it could be either?

I don't either...I was thinking that it may have been related to the whole sling-shot-around-the-sun-time-travel-thing....but that has happened more than once.

I'll have to research this a bit.

In the last episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the upgraded Enterprise goes to (IIRC) "Warp 13".

The way this was explained is that the warp scale had simply been recalibrated.
