Hey, I have a real quick question about gear shifting. I have a 98 Lude Base Auto with sportshift. The car in automatic switches gears just over 3k, but i was wondering, Is it still alright to switch gears at a higher RPM such as 5k? I mean I know excessively high gear switching, like 7500 is out of the question, but how much wear and tear would switching gears at a higher RPM do on a lude? Just a question I'd thought I'd ask. wasn't really sure heh. OH, and one more thing. I'm thinkin bout going JRSC, but I've heard a lot of drawbacks and such. does anyone on this board who has a supercharger or turbo have an AIM screen name? I'd like to discuss a few things about both or either to help me determine what I do about it. Thanks!

 

Your slushbox changes gears at different rpms determined by how hard you are accelerating. If you stomp on the gas at a light, your car is going to stay in 1st gear until almost the red line...basically WELL beyond 3k and past 5k....

Fear not..rev the crap out of it. This is why you purchased a Prelude and not an Accord.
