    Hi, Im not sure if you guys experienced this but when im driving at low gears 1,2,3 my rpm goes up as high a 3000.
    Normally when I drive on first gear my rpm stays at 2000 rpm and that would be 0-40 kph, 2nd gear is 40-60 still on 2000 rpm.
    But now going to 0-40 kph on first gear takes me right up to 3000 rpm . Any of you guys experienced this or is this just normal ? TIA

    manual trans? then it's entirely up to you on when you want to shift, not the ecu or the engine or the trans.
    siguro napaka-tahimik ng makina, mahirap tanchahin.. i had the same problem when i shifted from VW to sentra.. i was doing 60 to 80 on second gear because the sound and vibration cues weren't there..
