Hello, I've looked in the manual and there's really nothing there other than during the break-in period and downshifting. Could somebody please enlighten me on the recommended 'rev' range when changing gears eg. First gear=RPM/Second gear=RPM/Third gear=RPM vice versa. Unfortunately, it makes it very difficult living in a high density city like Melbourne, Australia where we spend 95% of our time driving and not exceeding 60kph (occasionally 80kph if I'm lucky and need to use the highway). I have driven on the highways in LA and it's a hell of a lot more fun there!
It feels like I'm lugging the engine because I can't drive it at the acceptable rev range as it just accelerates far too much..there are countless speed cameras everywhere. Most commercial zones are only 40kph and suburban streets at 50. If one exceeds the speed limit just by 25kph, we pay a $443 fine and automatic loss of licence for 3 months!!! I feel like I'm harming the engine by staying on either 2nd and 3rd gear. I'm an old bugger and quite conservative with my driving....I now know why people are so addicted to this cars, it is so much fun and beautiful to drive! By the way, I 'only' have a 1968 912 Targa but with a 1968 Flat6 911 Sportomatic engine and a 901 gearbox. Thank you so much and I hope I haven't put you off coming to Oz!
