What RMPs do you shift at??
 
When ever i shift from 2nd to 3rd anywhere over 5500RPMs my tc kinda clicks into 3rd . . . . Does anyone elses do that???????

I'm not sure what you're trying to describe.

Are you meaning it sounds like a grind?

captainlaziness 08-23-2008 04:56 PM

I shift between 900-6000 RPM.

senseiturtle 08-23-2008 05:19 PM

I guess this is why gas prices are so high?

TylerC08 08-23-2008 05:21 PM

Click, pop, grind, snap, clank, clunk, poompf...?

SengTC3 08-23-2008 05:24 PM

Probably means RPMs. I shift 2000-3000 RPMs when I chill drive.

B_Real45 08-23-2008 05:49 PM

He said his "clicks into 3rd" when shifting over 5500rpms...

I don't think he's asking when do we shift under civil driving conditions.

TylerC08 08-23-2008 05:53 PM

'chill drive' lol Sounds awesome

This is the sound of your transmission changing gears. Mine does it too, yes.

tC_insomniac 08-23-2008 05:59 PM

usually mine doesnt make noise cause im actually good at shifting. :P . jk

jackotamo 08-23-2008 07:10 PM

clicks into third? are you an automatic because it does it for you....

Ace83 08-23-2008 07:16 PM

i think its the tranny noise when changing gears that you hear.. like same noise you hear when you you engage to the gear hard, like a chak chak chak sound? a good gear oil might fix that

Redline FTW

I try not to go past 6,000 RPM, 5,800 RPM is where the HP peaks, so it's pointless to go redline.

TylerC08 08-25-2008 02:45 AM

"Redline MT-90"

captainlaziness 08-25-2008 02:50 AM

Ha haa.


Yeah, Redline is a brand of transmission fluid.

i was having a conversion with a girl about driving a manual transmission and looking at the tach for optimal shifts..

she said she doesnt pay much attention to it and i quote "i shift when hear my car goes vvvvrrRRRROOOMMM.. shift.. vvvvvvvrrRRROOMMM"

CDogbert 08-25-2008 04:38 PM

Yes, the optimal shift is made when you hear the ROOOMMM part of vvvvrrRRRROOOMMM.

indyTC 08-25-2008 04:59 PM

eh when im trying to save gas its like 2800 but i normally am constant at 3k...
