Okay dokie. This is a really dumb question probobly BUT since my 86 yota pickup 22r (carb) 5sp standard does not have a tach and I have not put one in yet, Im just wondering if someone knows off hand whats the max RPM (red line)?? 6k or so? AND also when shifting gears, what is the MPH (range) that I should be shifting each gear at (untill i install a tach).

I have been doing it by feel and sound, im not trusting myself heh.


sorry again for the dumb questions. If they have been awnsered before, could you please point me in the right direction?

cruising speeds are close to this:
1st- 5mph
2nd- 15mph
3rd- 25mph
4th- 35mph
5th- 55mph

that's a rough estimate.

and with stock tires and gears, these are speeds at 6000 rpm:
1st- 27mph
2nd- 49mph
3rd- 76mph
4th- 105mph
5th-123mph

Doing it by sound and feel really is how you should do it. Tachs are really only good for diagnosing problems and racing. In anything else it's just for show IMO.

I just dug these up abit ago for other reasons.
see post here or 96 Toyota owners manual

With my gears 3.42 on a w55 with stock 195/75-14(25.5inch)
0-15 idle-2400
15-25 1400-2300
25-40 1500-2500
40-45 1800-2000
45+ 1700+

But take what that manual says with some salt, it says max 55 in 2nd @5100rpm, 86 in 3rd @ 5300, 102 in 4th @4500
