    1st gen Runner (1984) Shifting?

    Hey guys, new to my '84 Runner 22R with a 5spd. Of course no Tach, so I am wondering what kind of speeds you guys are shifting at, I'm assuming stock gearing (I dont think anything was ever done to this 4Runner. So I am curious at what speeds you guys shift through the gears on the highway or road driving, so as not to be over revving....Right now, I am sort of shifting ever 15mph or so.

    1st - 0-15ish
    2nd - 15-30ish
    3rd - 30-45ish
    4th - 45-60ish
    (I usually dont get past here, but I know 5th gear will get on up to about 75)
    5th - 60+
