Default Recommended shift points for 92-95 civic

I don't have the users manual for my '93 Civic DX 4DR. I was wondering if any knew what Honda's
recommended shift points were for normal driving and highway merging... I would think the former is
more conservative.

I am shifting around the following points..

1->2 15mph
2->3 27mph
3->4 38mph
4->5 45mph

Can someone point me to the official numbers?

Thanks!

just drive it normally, it doesn't matter what shift points and what's the 'official' numbers, lol

I already do that... I just want them as guidelines.

there is no economy, just drive and shift when you feel the least pressure. as long as you drive it normally, you won't see a change in gas mileage. as for the redline shifts, well, just redline it to find out, but why do you need to know?

Because I have a DX which does not have a tach and "NO" I"m not going to buy one.

i didn't say that and you don't have to be a dick about it. the reason i'm not telling the redline is simply because i don't exactly know and you are as capable as I am at searching. if you want to drive aggressively without redlining, then you'll have to buy a cluster with a tach, unless you're magical and know exactly when to shift.

sorry not trying to be dick... came off the wrong way i guess. just wanted to emphasize the fact that i'm not going to buy a tach.
i searched but everyone just says rev till you think the engine is going to blow... not very helpful.

yes, that's not the brightest idea. so you want to race it or something? or are you just curious?
