If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: Taking off 2010 civic
The RPM of the shift points depends largely on the position of the accelerator pedal.
If you accelerate very gently, it will shift at lower RPM.
If you accelerate as rapidly as possible with gas pedal mashed all the way on the floor, the RPM should reach very close to redline before a shift.
Compare to an identical car that has no complaints.
