My 93 mustang would do fine shifting around 4000 +. Actually it was allot
of fun to shift around there :)
That would achieve a shift at a gear per, 20X the speed in miles/hr. So I
was shifting @ 20, 40, and hitting third (AT) 60 was waaaaaayyyyy to much fun,
knowing that there were 2 more gears to go .DO.T
