1. from neutral to first Don't think I've ever done this. 2. from first to second Usually 6k, right before lift (unless I need to go fast) 3. from second to third I often hit redline from 2nd to 3rd... best way to get to 60. 4. from third to fourth Redline about 40% of the time, I do a lot of highway driving (80 mph) 5. from fourth to fifth Rarely redline here, unless I'm going from 80 to 100 quickly (like someone trying to race on the freeway) 6. from fifth to sixth (GTS of course) I don't use 5th much, for highway I usually go 4th -> 6th. I've been close to redline in 5th, at about 120 a few times. Looking back over these answer... no wonder I'm on my second transmission replacement ![smile smile](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/smile.gif)

Recommended shifting speeds altitude of 4000 ft.>> 6 - speed and 5 speed (except the 6th gear) 1 to 2 or 2 to 1 15MPH 2 to 3 or 3 to 2 25 3 to 4 or 4 to 3 40 4 to 5 or 5 to 4 45 5 to 6 or 6 to 5 50 That's around 3500 each gear except 5th to 6th I believe. Of course entering traffic or going uphill you might want to accelerate more and shift later. Racing it's all out right to the fuel cut each gear. Max. allowable speeds>> 5 - speed 6 - speed 1 35 1 37 2 57 2 58 3 78 3 80 4 106 4 101 5 ? 5 129 6 ?

Depends on how lazy I feel... Sometimes, I'll wind out second and put it in 5th, or 4th, depending on the road. If I'm driving normally, usually shift around 3.5 to 4, if I'm racing, redline. I always start from 1st from a complete stop...but there are those times when I come to at stop sign and put it in second...but thats not really a total stop. ![smile smile](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/smile.gif)

How 'bout downshifting? I don't downshift if I know I'm coming to a full stop anyways, I just cruise in neutral. How 'bout skipping gears (from 2nd --> 4th)? Isn't that bad for the transmission?
