Default Can someone answer me

OK well i think something is up with my car. It drives kinda funny. Or different from what i can rmb.

All i really wanna know is at what rmp are these speed suppose to be at. Mine seems kind of high. I don't have no gear mods or anything.

1-2 : 15mph ( 3500ish )
2-3: 25mph ( 4000ish )
3-4: 40mph (4000ish)
4-5: 47mph (4000ish)
5-6: 53mph (4000ish)

Is that right??

or if you convert it

1-2 : 24 km/h ( 3500ish )
2-3: 40 km/h ( 4000ish )
3-4: 64 km/h (4000ish)
4-5: 75km/h (4000ish)
5-6: 83km/h (4000ish)

not understanding your post very well, do you mean 4,000 RPM at 53 in 5th gear or 6th gear ? my confusion comes from the way you put 5-6.

I keep my motor at around 4,000 to 4,500 at all times and cruise on the freeway around 4,000+/- at just under 70MPH, don't know about the other speeds since I keep my motor revved where I think it should be at all times.

There's no way your cruising RPMS are off unless your clutch is slipping ridiculously bad or you have a different rearend in there. In any case turnzero is your friend: http://www.turnzero.com/technical_resource...gear_calculator

Looks right to me. Those are the shift points recommended in the OEM manual, at least for AP1.
