Most people change at around 2,500 to 3,000rpm if they have an RPM tacho. Otherwise just feel your engine. When it starts to grunt, that's when I change but it depends. I'm supposed to go into 5th at 82km/h but if it's an 80 zone I stay in 4th because if I'm in 5th and lightly have my foot on the accelerator it'll easily get to 90 before I've even realised. If I have it in 4th it's easier to maintain 80 and slowing down is easier because I'm in a lower gear. For an AE82 CS it's: 2nd - 20km/h 3rd - 40km/h 4th - 62km/h 5th - 80km/h This is what's recommended by Toyota and it works a treat on fuel efficiency [Report message to a moderator]
