Maximum speed in each gear ?
I noticed in the owners manual that it has the maximum speed for each gear, but it doesn't state if it's for the AT or MT? What is the maximum speed for each gear in the AT ??

Re: Maximum speed in each gear ?
First of because i'am curious and secondly in sport shift mode "or whatever it's called " to help me determine what gear to down shift to..for instance your crusing in 4th around 50mph and need to take off...do i drop it to second or third??? Also, the sport shift doesn't auto shift for you..unless your comming to a stop...

Re: Maximum speed in each gear ?
it still doesnt matter.... lets say your doing 100 and want to drop down to 2nd in your "manual" mode, it wont let you.
It will drop down to the lowest gear the computer will let you.
might as well just keep it and drive and floor the gas. u'lll get better response

Like somebody said if its harmful to the engine it wont let you shift. Other than that just feel it out, thats what I did. I drive 95% of time in the manual mode .... huge difference between that and auto. Just beware those times when you are dropping it 2 gears lower and end up 1000 rpms before redline because you will have to upshift real quick.

G35Gnome, if you drive 95% in manual mode, you should have just gotten the 6MT. =)

Yes and no ..... there are some times I wish I have gotten the mt, but more so I am glad I got the auto. If it was my weekend toy it would have been a stick for sure

Re: Maximum speed in each gear ?
Hey, did you 6MT owners know that we are supposed to be in 5th gear at 28mph+?? And we are supposed to be in 6th at 33mph+?? I checked out the manual tonight and that is what it says for normal driving (best fuel economy). But I cannot imagine being in 5th at 33mph...I'm still in 3rd at that speed. Isn't it only BAD for the engine to be in freaking 5th gear at such a low speed??? And I only engage 6th at 60mph+...jeez.

Re: Maximum speed in each gear ?
That's for optimum mpg's. Sure if you need to accellerate, you must drop a gear or 3 lol, but so long as your not accellerating, or going uphill etc, it won't lug the engine. Try it.
Doggin it will foul up the combustion chambers, tho, so you don't want to shift too soon. I personally would shift at higher rpm's than the book says, but they're just saying how soon you can shift.

Re: Maximum speed in each gear ?
Yeah, but it just seems to LOW, lol. I mean, from my experience with driving manual cars, they don't really like to be lower than 2K rpm's. For normal driving, I stay within the 2K-3K rpm range. Even 4th gear at 30mph would put me well below 2K rpm...but 5th gear!?!? That would be like 1K or 1,200rpm @ 30mph in 5th gear...that is just too low !! That would just be like NO acceleration if I tried to go faster. UNACCEPTABLE !!!!
