I shouldn't even be asking this as I've driven a 5spd Mustang for 6 years but...
At what speed do you guys normally use 5th gear? Do you use it around the city?
I have 3.73's and at 45mph I'm around 2200 RPMs in 4th, and 50mph is about 2500 RPMs. Seems a little high.
So I normally shift to 5th but that puts me around 1400-1500 RPMs and I feel it may be putting more stress on the motor. Is this too low of an RPM? Should I stick to using 4th gear only at 50mph and below and burn up that gas?
