This question is about my 2005 Tiburon SE.Its a six speed V6.

While moving at a steady 70 MPH, in sixth gear, the tachometer reads just above 3000 RPM.An increase in speed is followed by a similar increase in RPM.

I've owned several cars, with automatic transmissions, from different makers and the RPM for this speed has always been between 2500 and 3000.

This is my first manual transmission so l was wondering, is this normal for a manual transmission?Does any other Tiburon owner experience this high RPM?

yes its fine.

Hehe it is all normal, maybe you should Google on how to use manual transmission.

The final drive ratio is 4.43:1 which is quite high, so it is going to rev higher than your average (top gear) six speed transmission. Yes, it is geared for performance (it is maximum torque is at 3,800 rpm) rather than economy. If you want a low revving manual transmission, look to a V-8 muscle car like the Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Corvette.

l have drove many six speeds and it is fine.

l have a manual 2005 tibby too. love, love, love it! yes, it is o.k. for the rpm is to go that high. l would definately suggest that you read every page of your owners manual and if you have more questions then go to the service department at the dealership.

The tibs do tend to rev pretty high, particularly for a six speed.
