Max Speed in Each Gear for 5 speed man. Yaris with no tach??
Anyone know what they are?
My '97 Tacoma owner's manual listed the max speeds in each gear for manual trans trucks with no tach and I'm wondering if there's similar info out for the Yaris. I am picking up my '09 TRD equipped 5 speed hatch (base model) next Friday and I'd like to know how fast I can go in each gear in order to achieve maximum acceleration. NOTE: I THINK THIS INFO COULD BE IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL; MAYBE SOMEONE COULD CHECK... |

I assumed that the "maximum acceleration" shift point numbers published in the owner's manual would correlate to engine red-line in each gear. Is that not the case? Do your numbers correlate to engine red-line? |

The owner's manual says 59 MPH can be achieved in 2nd gear, while you say 44 MPH... And the owner's manual says 86 MPH in 3rd gear, which is faster than the 80 MPH you listed for 4th gear... And why does the owner's manual only list the first 3 gears for a 5 speed manual trans...? |

Yet, both you and the manual say 31 MPH in 1st gear... There's nothing wrong with revving these engines to redline - even on a relatively frequent basis. This engine is a DOHC/16 valve with variable valve timing. It's designed to rev. I did it with all three of the 4 cylinder Toyotas I've owned for many, many miles and never had a problem. So I'm going by the owner's manual recommendations when I'm looking for strong acceleration... |

These 1.5 liter Yaris engines have no problem with revs. They have strong, lightweight internals and a valvetrain that's built for it. I plan on running Mobil 1 exclusively in it after the first change. My '09 LS3 Corvette redlines @ 6,500 RPM and that's a pushrod, 6.2 liter V8. That's only got 1,200 miles on it and it started seeing redline after 600 easy break-in miles. It's a nice DRIVING car. Too bad GM has to ruin it in the usual way (cheap seats, crappy sounding stereo and electronics/power accessories that break constantly). |

A tach isn't really necessary and I've no plans to install one.
All you really need to know is the max allowable engine speeds (e.g. red-line) in each gear. That information is apparently included in the owner's manual - as was the case with my '97 Tacoma. |

That's not the way Aarton would have done it.

And I don't get why PK's numbers differ from these? I get these numbers too, in my Yaris. |

I don't understand why cars equipped with manual transmissions don't come with a tach (even base models). The exact purpopse of having a tach is to let you know when to shift, which is something you need with a manual tranny.

Because you simply don't need a tach to drive. Auto or manual.

Just teasing! Anyway, reving is harmless. Over-reving on the other hand And yes, Ayrton was the best! My favorite for sure.
