It seems obvious that the graphs of all gear produced thrust, have more thrust in the prior gear right up until redline.
Thx

That particular engine has a rev limit of 6700
here you can see where a shift at 6700 takes you, this trans is not optimized for the engine or for track use in general. it is a fuel economy trans, as such short shifting in 3,4,5 will take you to a better part of the torque curve, 1 & 2 shifts rpm drops are good and take you to a decent place on the torque curve
