I can go into 6th at 60km/h, which is about ~40MPH. I usually am doing at least 60MPH nowadays though.

So, what your saying is that it is safe for your engine and tranny to be going 45 mph in 6th at like only 600 RPM? From what I've heard and done all my driving life, is that unless your in 1st gear, always stay above 1500 rpm. Maybe I was taught wrong, I dont know. Oh well, I have a 100,000 mile warranty in case I scew something up.Dont BOV or your going to cause a boost spike and leak blinker fluid causing you to lock up your muffler bearings.

There's nothing unsafe about it, but you will use more fuel.
Engines run rich at lower RPM's, so it's best to keep them at above 1200RPM. As I said, I usually am running at more than 60MPH now when I go into sixth.

Plus, you are right, you have 100,000 miles to figure it out.

My G6 3900 with the F40 6MT was at precicely 1500RPM at 45 MPH in 6th gear today. I paid particular attention.
Are we talking about the same engine and trans.?

I believe you, I am just trying to figure out the huge difference in what I have vs. yours.
could it be the 06 vs. 07 gearing?
Any other casual observers with some input?

I guess that I was a little off with the RPM speed. Usually at about 1000 to 1100. (*kick self in head*) As I said earlier, I was always told that driving under 1500rpm (unless in 1st gear) isnt the best thing to do. Maybe im wrong.
As you can see the date codes are only a few hours apart. The engine was warm, so that shouldnt have affected the reading.Dont BOV or your going to cause a boost spike and leak blinker fluid causing you to lock up your muffler bearings.

This makes more sense. Now the slight difference in gearing between 06 and 07 will justify a couple hundred RPM instead of like 900.
Thanks for clearing that up!! I was begining to think something was wrong with mine.
