only slows down if you shift slow!

you'll shift at certain RPM's. You could just read the RPM's of the car and shift at around 5000, depending on what you're driving.

Also, here's the website that he used to make his car physics.

Yeah I'd stick with the RPM (Rev's Per/Minute). The acceleration would change aswell then. This is a very difficult bit of coding, I would have trouble doing this. Don't make it too hard for yourself.
