Do you have one in your car/truck?
Do you pay any attention to it?

No I don't have a tachomoter. But I do have a tachometer and yes I pay attention to it.Originally posted by Cow Poke View Post

What about a tacometer? It tells you how good the taco is before you eat it.
Let me guess, rogue tech already has a patent.

Yes and no.
No, in that I've always shifted by feel. If I am accelerating and I "feel" it slowing down a hair, I shift. If it feels like it is lugging down, I shift. I don't need to look at the tach for that, not in a vehicle that I've been driving for years.
Yes, in that the info is there, and it's hard not to notice.
My wife's car drives me nuts. Blip the throttle to take off, and the darn thing rev's to the moon. Like 2k. Hyperactive throttle, severe tip-in. I'm going to guess the clutch will go the distance though. My car, no severe tip-in, but it actually has a bit of torque off-idle, so it doesn't need too much to get going. Wife's car usually needs 1,500rpm to take off from a stop, my car I'm abusing it if I hit 1,100rpm. The other day I was caning it, and realized that it does indeed now pull to near redline, was impressed with that. [Redline is 4,700rpm.]
My truck OTOH has one of those automatics, and while I like it sometimes most of the time it drives me nuts! Thankfully I can at least force it to downshift--it won't upshift unless if it wants to. It wouldn't be so bad, but that darn torque convertor lockup programming is for the birds. If it has a proper clutch I know I could lug that engine down to 1,100rpm on hills with no problem--but it likes to just not shift how I want it to!No Silicon Heaven? Preposterous! Where would all the calculators go?Comment

I had a '69 Mercury Cyclone once, with a 351 Cleveland engine, 4 on the floor, and after leaving 1st gear, I didn't even need the clutch --- just "felt" it needing to change, eased off the gas just a wee bit, and slipped into the next gear just as smooth as anything.Originally posted by supton View Post
It had a tach, but I didn't really need it except for fun.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.Comment

I made sure I had a tach as part of the instrument cluster when I went car shopping in Dec. I look at it mostly when the engine is cold, so I don't rev it too much before it's warm. I mostly shift by feel though.

One of the reasons I started this thread is because my Mercury Mountaineer has a tach, and after 220,000 miles, the automatic transmission shifts downright smoothly, and just about the places where I'd do it if I were manually shifting.Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostThe first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.Comment
