usually i let first gear go to 3.5k then second around 3k then sometimes i skip 3rd and go to 4th then 5th at 35-40mph or ill just rev high on 3rd and skip 4th and go to 5th. the speed limit here is 35mph so if i put it in 6th the car feels like its about to die and i feel like im choking the engine.
i went with what they stated in the manual and shift to 6th asap and the engine ran fine. i believe it was running at around 1300 rpm (33mph in 6th gear). my shifting pattern is now 1st to 2nd to 3rd to 6th and i don't change gear when driving from the freeway to the city unless my speed drops below 33 mph
