How high to rev before shifting in each gear?

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.
If you read the next paragraph it'll list the maximum speed for the first 3 gears 38, 63, and 91 MPH consecutively. It doesn't elaborate beyond that, but there are other resources out there.

The manual transmission in this car is not rocket science. What I tell people is that you'll be fine as long as the wheels are still moving while you're in gear. Plus, you'll know it when the engine wants to bog and die. As with any other car, there's a reason why the gauge has a redline indicator and fuel cutoff if you attempt to be in that region. Again, the owner's manual offers some suggestions.

After awhile it all becomes second nature.

Again, avoid the money shift.
