Shift Points Manual Transmission

["sgskbm" <SGSKBM@xxxx>]

My car has 11K on it and I thought that it would be a good idea to 
run the tank of gas out of it so that I could put fresh gas in it. 
In addition, it seemed like it might be fun to drive it from San 
Diego to Orange County.

Anyway, I noticed that if I was under 2,500 RPM's the car seemed 
to "lug" in 4th and 5th gears. If you are cruising and you are in 5th 
gear 2,500 RPMS seems to be around 60 or 65 MPH. If you accelerate, 
at 2,200 to around 2,500 it will "lug" a little. I do not remember if 
this is normal or not. At 2,500 RPMs and above no problem. 

The car runs great other then this issue and it performs well at the 
top end, idles and starts great.

I do drive it at least once a month for a few miles and it is in 
perfect shape. No fuel problems....everything is new and I do put at 
least 20 miles a month on it.

Any thoughts? Is this normal? I just can't remember.

Thanks,

Scot
