[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 2389201, member: 52978"] When I went to feeder school, they trained us to shift according to the RPM's only. We only had 5 speed GMC's back then, so it wasn't too hard. Those POS they use for road tests are the absolute worst of the worst. Probably don't even use them for delivery anymore. When testing, we had to go from first (granny gear). What we did was once we got rolling, go ahead and upshift. Usually the gears were so wallowed out, if you were even close (both in the pattern and the RPM range) it would go into second gear. BTW the last time I shifted by RPM's only was probably my last day of feeder school. It was a fine dance to go from brake/accelerator/clutch/brake release as a newbie. After one ugly start, my instructor told me if I rolled back at my next light, he would fail me. No pressure. [/QUOTE]
