You are right, I am wrong.
I was picturing the engine RPM vs drivshaft RPM graph having all of hte lines parallel.
However all 6 gear plots have y-intercepts of zero, so the lines are not parallel.
So transitioning from one gear to another when low in the RPM range is a smaller jump than doing it at high RPM.
Sorry bout that.
