Default What RPM does your gear change?

I have a 93 accord auto. And when I'm just driving regularly, like going on highway my gear changes at 3500, when I press on gas harder it could sometimes go 4k but usually just 3500, just wondering what about you guys? When does yours gear up?

Depends on throttle angle and engine load.

When the speed reaches about 54 - 60-mph the car shifts to fourth gear.
When the speed reaches 60 - 65-mph or more the lock up torque converter engages. This is felt as a slight nudge. Shift sequence ends.
The rpm may range from 2000 - 5000 before shifting depending on the throttle position. The 90-93 Accord can stay up to 68-mph in second gear.
