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

While moving at a steady 70 MPH, in 6th gear, the tachometer reads just above 3000 RPM. a raise in speed is followed by a alike increase in RPM.

I've owned some number of cars, with auto transmissions, from different makers and the RPM for this speed has generally been between 2500 and 3000.

This is my 1st manual transmission so I wondered, is this normal for a manual transmission? Does any other Tiburon owner experience this high RPM?

The last drive percentage 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 eight muscle car like the Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Corvette.

yes its good.

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

i have drove many six speeds and it's good.

i have a manual 2005 tibby too. love, love, love it. yes, it is o.k. for the rpm's to go that high. I could definately propose that you read every page of your holders manual and if you have more questions then go to the service department at the dealership.

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