Generally, you should shift gears up when the tachometer is around “3” or 3,000 RPMs; shift down when the tachometer is around “1” or 1,000 RPMs. After some experience with driving a stick shift, you’ll be able to figure out when to shift by the way your engine sounds and “feels.” More on that below.
What happens if you shift at 5000 rpm?
If you drive at 5,000 RPM, that bearing is going to use up its lifetime twice as fast as if you were driving at 2,500 RPM. On the other hand, “lugging” an engine at too low an RPM can be harmful, as well. If your prime directive is mechanical lifetime, shoot for lower RPM within a reasonable range (i.e. not lugging).

Why did my Subaru Outback hesitate to change the spark plug?
My hesitation was due to my plug wire on #3 breaking apart after the last spark plug change (I pulled on the proper location of the wires to take the wires off). I changed them in the parking lot of the local Subaru dealership (when I was out of town!).
