Just a question, tried for a search but nothing..
For a -74 1.8l when is time to shift?! it sounds like my engine does not like high RPM's.. or is it just me?! Right now the highest I have gone is 3800-4000.. usually around 3000 is when I shift.. any advice would be nice... also a short shift story, what speed/gear/RPM are you at.. for you guys with the same motor.. thanks!

Stock motor, normal driving--I try to keep the revs around 3000-3500.
AutoXing or trying to wring all the performance out of it I can--I shift between 5000 and 5600. Usually higher in the lower gears (except first; I'm never trying to get all the performance out of first gear!) and lower in the taller gears. For instance, I shift from 4th to 5th at about 5200 RPM, while I shift from 2nd to 3rd at the stock redline of 5600 (or, sometimes, when I hit the rev limiter). --DD |
