I wasn't trying to offend you or suggest you were a poor driver. Just that it won't cost much to try shifting at a slightly higher RPM.


No offense taken. Given the small number of vehicles produced nowadays with standards, it would not be surprising for someone to have driven only automatics and not know when to shift a standard. Keeping the rpms up out of the range where the skip happens doesn't fix the problem but only avoids the symptom and associated annoyance. Being under warranty I want it fixed.
