What does it mean by fluctuating the speed? Driving at various speeds?! I heard smth that when u drive on a highway to try to change gears quite often, not to leave the car only in one gear and roll at various speeds! Like in 5th from 1000-1500 rpm till 4000-4500rpm...
Is it corect? Maybe the gearbox needs time asweel to "brake in"!

Everyone seems to have a different theory.
Although, I've never heard of this one, it sounds rather unneccessary.
Fifth is such a short gear, you should never need to drive it at 1000rpm.
