 Hey idk if this is the right place to put this, but when does the manual tC shift, like what MPH. The auto tranny when it reaches its peak shifts from 1st at 35, 2nd 70, 3rd 11o, and tops at 130.

 i usually go off more rpm.. than mph...

but max mph and recommended shift points are in your owner's manual

 RPMs are better to shift by than MPH.............better on the engine b/c it's an actual reading of the engine speed vs. the car speed.

Things like going uphill/downhill will make differences in the speed-rpm relationship. If you are going uphill, you'll usually have a lower speed at a certain rpm than if you are going downhill.

But lets say you are on a straightshot level road shifting (in a manual) at ~6000rpms I think the speeds will be somewhere around this:

1st: 30mph
2nd: 50mph
3rd: 80mph
4th: 110mph
5th: 127mph (tops)

My numbers may be a little off.

thats about right...probably the same numbers i would have put....but again its estimates cause rpms are the thing that u should watch
