Counted the shifts - hmm 5-4th (one) 4th -3rd (two) 3rd-2nd (three) 2nd-1st (four)
Did you shift four times or three times? Four shifts takes you from 5th to 1st.
5th is an overdrive - the ratio is below 1:1 so the engine works harder in 5th than in fourth - (cannot remember is 4th the same?)
Keep the rubber side down
