I think once you drive your car you will know when to shift. I don't watch the speed. With my Mitchell I don't use O/D in first. After I get up to speed in 2nd, I will shift to O/D 2nd and usually leave it there for around town. Same with 3rd at higher speeds.

One thing you will really like is the neutral position because you can use it to downshift. From 3rd, put the Ryan in neutral, shift to second, then reengage the Ryan.
