it will tell you to shift from 4th to 5th going 35mph, putting the rpm's around 1000rpm...can you imagine the shudder then? The salesman told me that 5th gear was for highway speeds, 55mph and above, he said. Salesman to me are not the final word, so of course when I first got the car, I would shift into 5th at 40-45mph and the car is just under to much stress at that low of a speed. So, I now take the salesman's advice and shift into 5th gear so that the rpm's will be at 2000rpm or above. Maybe you can get you hands on another base 5 spd or we can have someone on this board try to see how their car behaves when they are in 5th gear and below 2000 rpm.
