RE: When to shift when taking off
ORIGINAL: A4 Effort
Here are my average shift-points when running in tip:
1st - 3,000 - 3,200
2nd - 3,500-4,000
3rd - 4,000-4,500 (you should be at around 50-55 mph by the time you hit 3rd)
4th - 3,500-4,000
Again, these are my average shift points, and will always very depending upon mystyle of driving. When i'm really gunning around town, i'll often take a couple gears into the 5k range. Play around with yours and get to where you feel comfortable.
