Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Question - Shifting from 1st to 2nd Gear.

Question for everyone. I have a 2002 Celica GTS 6 Speed. I want to know at what RPM everyone is shifting, from 1st to 2nd gear. I think, manual says 2800 RPM. I've been shifting in the 3000-3500 RPM's.

shift at 7800

Ok, without reving your car.

i shift around 6000 usally at 1 and 2 gear but when engien is cold i usally shift at 2500

hey does ur header have a air pump attached to it(runs along side the tensioner to the left)? cause a have an "04 gts and im just wondering when toyota started putting the air pump im thinking "02 or "03

dont know do you have any pic. btw i have a gt

It all depends on how fast you are intending to get up to speed. Just shift when you feel like it. You shouldn't even be looking at the tach unless you are nearing redline, just listen to the motor & make your shift.

i shift at like 3500 also

is it bad to shift at high rpm like 5000-6000 in the first gears alot?? (GT)

I shift anywhere from 3K to 8600 rpms

if you're not racing you shouldnt really worry about it like doo said.

Ill check and post this evening.

damn, that's kinda high...

Theres not a set rpm that you should shift at. It depends how fast you want to accelerate. Anywhere between 2000 and the redline will do fine!

Stupid question BTW

i think you should shut up and keep making up ur fake lil stories, dont come her and start to say shit about this question, on a better note, just shift wen you need 2 like if you wanna drive slow then shift at the rpm the manual said but if you wanna go faster then rev harder its totally up to u

i shift as early as i have to if im merging i'll lift it if im just cruzzin i pop it in to the highest gear that keeps me at 2k

omfg you are a mooron
there is a set of rpm toyota recomends you to shift at, and btw is not a stupied qestion

piss the driver behind you , her i can shift at 2000 and keep up with traffick easy

i normally shift between 3-4 i noticed. I like around 4 because it is in between economy driving and spirited driving...but shifting above 6 is also fun

between 3.5-5k rpm for me..like everyone else's comment, shift at low rpm if you drive slow, shift high if you like to go a lil faster then everybody else's on the road..have fun..shifting make driving fun..auto is boring, nothing against auto tranmission<< all good..
