Looks like ur gs is not going to 5th gear. Make sure you are on D, not D4.

hahaha... maybe i should've mentioned my fiance called and told me that. She's having her car worked on and she drove mine and noticed it. My first instinct was to hop on here and ask the pros. lol.. i'll have to double check when i drive it tonight. Thanks for the input guys.

IIRC it is normal. I just chopped it up as the gear ratio.

The 400 and 430s have different gears than 300's right? I checked last night and yep, I was at about 3k at 70 (as usual) and yea all gears switched.

So figured she did have it in D4 instead of D. Around 75mph I'm at 3,000RPM. Thanks for all the input guys.
