I shift from 1st to 2nd when the engine sounds like and vibrations feel like blaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Then, I shift from 2nd to 3rd when the engine sounds like and vibrations feel like blaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Then, I shift from 3rd to 4th when the engine sounds like and vibrations feel like blaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Then of course, I shift from 4th to 5th when the engine sounds like and vibrations feel like blaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr.

Hope that helps.

I hope the OP looks at this. That's the best answer I've seen for this question.

I thunk I may have been doing it all wrong.
