I don't have a tach. I do not pay much attention around town, I keep the rpms down, but never lugging. I do notice that by sound I shift into 4th and the speedo reads about 40 mph, same for 5th, about 50mph. 5th sounds good to me up to about 60+ mph and then I shift into 6th.
On the freeway, I run the rpms out while getting up to traffic speed. 5th gear and if traffic is heavy the engine sounds good and I'll hold 5th gear as the speeds go from 60 to 70.
I like these posts about the rpms at different speeds with 6 speed trannys. I have no idea what my rpms are at different speeds. I only remember hitting the rev limiter a few times in 3 years and I was running it out at the time. I came from a 5 spd and I use my ears.
