At what REV rpm DO YOU CHANGE GEAR?

3SeventyZ · 07-04-2010, 03:11 PM

Somewhere around 3K normally.

3k although i downshift quite a bit earlier than necessary just to hear the engine rev for me

LunaZ · 07-04-2010, 05:33 PM

When the little red light starts blinking at me.

Usually right around 3500. I am still under 1200 miles (break-in), so I have my shift light set to start blinking at me at 3500.

8k FTW

TongMan · 07-05-2010, 06:28 AM

During normal operation, I shift at 2.5k to 3k.

7200 rpm... 13.1mpg's FTW! Lol. J/k
My shift points vary depending on driving situation but 3,750rpm is a nice semi aggressive shift point
