And there's no "set" rpm to downshift into. It all depends on the situation. Likewise for which gear you need to drop into. Just because you're in 5th gear doesn't exactly mean you have to or need to drop into 4th next. Sometimes, you have to go right into 3rd or maybe even 2nd straight from 5th (emergency situations). Try doing that with a lousy automatic transmission.

Again... Many years driving experience with a proper transmission.

Watch yourself there, noobie...

Besides, I know exactly what this thread is about. Your post is useless, not mine. If... IF you could take anything from what I said other than just getting pissy, you'd figure out that the same rules apply no matter what transmission is used.

So please, take your own advise and
