Suprised to see a manual with no tach, because there are some people that shift by RPM, and not sound.

When I'm going through gears I never pay attention to the tach. Only time I actually notice it is cruising on the interstate

Yeah I'll rarely try and catch a glimpse just as I shift when I pin it. Lol for work i'm driving an 04 ram 2500 5speed with the 5.7 hemi it's alright. I really want a 5speed with my 5.4 and a short throw!!!

I learned to drive manual with a dirt bikes and 4wheeler so i was never able to watch a tach. Now I just look at the tach for what range it sounds the best. And for my personal enjoyment like where she idles when cold and stuff. Lol
