Hi Awcook,
Here in Europe this Civic comes with an automated gearbox call i-shift. This can be used in auto mode that will do gear changes according to drive, If we floor it it will push up the rpm, if you are light on throttle it will change sooner, also it has the sequential mode where you change up or down in gears with the stick. (doesn't have clutch pedal, it has a clutch but is eletrically activated)...
Your gearbox is different yes?
Is like a CVT gearbox?
Meaning, if you are easy on the gas (economic driving) wich rpm does it revs/shifts?
On my 6 MT Civic's Manual it reccomends the next shift speeds to have a smoother and economic drive:
1->2 = 15 km/h = 9 mp/h (+-1800 rpms)
2->3 = 35 km/h = 22 mp/h (+-2200 rpms)
3->4 = 50 km/h = 31 mp/h (+-2400 rpms)
4->5 = 75 km/h = 47 mp/h (+-2500 rpms)
5->6 = 100 km/h = 62 mp/h (+-2800 rpms)
That's a little high rpms I guess, but probably for the best fuel eficiency...?!
