Your not supposed to change gears at that low of an RPM, always shift at redline! 
? Only kidding- That sucks, hopefully only a solitary fault.

Thanks for the plug. Sorry for my bad timing. I had a dynamic drive failure where the suspension felt like mush, an active steering fault and a transmission fault. They only happened twice within a few days and have not happened since. I can joke about it now, but it wouldn't have been funny when it happened. Keep us posted.

I was actually laughing
not putting you down 
. I think it is great that you got a quote in Autoweek. I've been trying for the last 15+ years to get in that mag. Great job!
5,500 RPM IS lugging it (for me that is).
It just a car and I don't get that upset about it (althought I will attest that I used to). So I have a loaner for a week or so - As long as it's not a smelly cloth seated 15K+mileage rental it doesn't really bother me.
