Are you asking when to shift for daily driving? And what motor are you asking for? Or at least give us a redline for the motor.

 

When you need too what is the point of this post...

 

daily driving with my ex tranny i shift at 3500 - 4000 usually. then well for racing...that would be called the REDLINE

Shift before 2.5k and you'll save gas, shift around 3-4k and that'll give you a reasonable amount of mileage. Shift at 6800 for peak Sohc PoWa!

EDIT: D16z6/ex tranny

 

shift when you hear loud pinging noises and your car starts to buck

 

why shift? Just stay in first the entire time, its easier.

 

shift when it sounds like its peaking, or shift after you get to the point where it doesnt lug into the next gear...

If you cannot tell the earliest and latest shift points by virbation or noise... then you should go to an automatic my friend.... for eyes should be on the road

 

I go by feel...

SOmewhere around 2500 to 4000 rpm's depending what gear

 

for city driving shift at like 3500 in first, about 3K in 2nd and 2500 in all others, it works in most cars.

 

shift 4 - 45

 

redline all the gears, that way ull get to ur destination alil faster...jk

um..shift around 3K...cuss i do

I dont know if I should shoot you for asking this question because you want to be an @$$ or....

Do you really not know?

If you know and are asking this, go "F" yourself... but if you dont know, shift when you think is appropriate. Daily driving, most shift around 3k. Racing most of the time redline.

But I dunno... If you dont know this one, you might want to buy an automatic or practice driving the manual you just got. Anyhow, good luck...

 

put it in drive it shifts on its own

 

shift when you feel the car jerk back like i do for anywhere i need to go!

 

when you hit rev limiter then shift, let your car know whose in control

 

shift every 10mph on your speedometer
