How high to rev before shifting in each gear?

Haboob · 11-27-2013, 08:15 AM

Daily putt-puttin' around I shift 3500-4000.

I don't remember what I have the shift light set at, though I still need to perfect the shift at redline as to it not bouncing off rev limiter (haven't bounced it yet, but I think I can still shift a little bit later).

I don't take it to redline very much though.

Same here. Don't understand shifting much lower. Sometimes 3,000, but any lower gets into a "bogging" range.
