no tach= problem for newb?

[BrownNBubbly]

alright, if there is no tach (liftback), would you be able to figure out when the car redlines? if i do actually get the car (under the hands of parents decision), this will be my first manual car. but since there is no tach, something tells me i may have a problem knowing when to shift.

yea i know you can feel/hear when to shift , but will a newb like me really know when? thanks for the info.
