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!

miles told me a long time ago that I should TRY to keep the car above 3k rpm's. The fan on the engine needs to stay that high to keep the car cool...
I generally kept it between 2500 and 3300rpm's. that was a while ago.. Oh and I shifted at like 4800 cus my engine didnt like revving (cept once, right after a valve adjustment... twas nice..) |
