For a 1994 3000gt SL, what RPMs should I shift at for each gear? Thanks.

Are you racing? If so..... redline.

krakle · 06-16-2005, 01:33 PM

If not racing and just driving normally I would shift 2500-3000 RPMs... lighter on gas usage

yeah thats about right, you can feel when you need to shift. just listen to the car

Thanks. I also looked through the owners manual and they tell you at what _speed_ to shift.

If you are only taking it to 6 grand you arent taking full advantage of the motor. There is ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with taking it to redline. Thats what we have a rev limiter for. I have bounced my rev limiter numerous times and it wont hurt anything.
