What are you talking about with this "shift at 2000" crap!?!??

If you shift at 2000 rpm (especially into 4th or 5th) you are not going to move! This would put the rpm's at about 1000 for the next gear! As a Mechanical Engineering major, i have to say not only is that ridiculous, its also bad for the motor, believe it or not.

Maybe if you drive a diesel powered truck that redlines at 3000, then you could shift at 2000, but otherwise, not a good idea!
