that's why you practice the shifts while looking down, learning what each shift sounds like. i shift at a different point for just about every gear in my truck, but i rarely look at the tach anymore because i learned what each rpm sounds like

The problem is that the gear your in doesn't give a hoot what the gear ratio will be after you shift - feel won't change based on the next gear, but will stay the same for every gear. So while you can feel when the engine wants to shift, you have to do the math and research to know when the transmission wants to shift.
