First off down shifting manually at high RPM's is not the greatest thing for your tranny. Thats not what that function was designed for. The other thing is even though your car can rev to 6k doesnt mean it produces its max horse power that high. I suggest you check your tranny fluid and change it. Be sure to use either ATF from honda or buy friction modifier along with dextron 3 ATF. Also read up on the powerband of your car
