Hey Randall, I like you drive a '97 2.5. I am curious as to what temp you read when the car is warm? I tend to shift at very similar tach points as you. Since the car has such low miles I'm almost following the break-in recommendations. Just curious abut what your temp guage says. Mine seems to settle a bit above the 180 line. BTW just touched 13,000 miles and so far all is well. I've put about 3500 on it since purchase.
Anywhere along the 180 line is normal,it can go slighty above that during summer. Anything higher requires a radiotor cleaning and coolant check. If that doesnt help then a trip to the dealer is required.
