3rd to 4th - 40 mph
4th to 5th - 45 mph
5th to 6th - 50 mph

But i couldnt wrap my head around the point of having to shift in 5mph increments (4-->5-->6). That just seems to make 4th and 5th gear pretty worhtless imo. Im not trying to argue, just explaining my thought process.

This is a guide probably written to achieve the best fuel economy for normal driving. Sometimes, I bypass 3rd , 4th or even 5th depending on the type of driving. Like I said in an earlier post, shifting habits will become second nature as you get more familiar with the transmission and your own driving style.

andyj and Gadgetech like this.
