Was that an 4 or 6? On my 2007 I4 (less than 1000 miles) at 60MPH my tach
shows just under 2K rpms and jumps about 200 on a slight hill. I would
assume if you have an I4 also with the same configuration, that the
difference is within the margin of error for tachs. Anyone up for doing the
math with the ratios and tell us what it should be?

That's with the 4 cyl. I'm a tick over 2000 or about 2050. Can you 'feel'
the torque converter lock/unlock when the rpm's change those 200? I can't
feel it.

Well, that makes me feel better. I was beginning to believe I was numb as
well as senile. )
