Normally you have to listen to the RPM rate to know when to change into ANY gear on a stick-shift/manual transmission car. Changing between fourth and fifth gear isn't any different from changing between, say, 3rd and 4th. I wouldn't bother keeping too much of an eye on the RPM meter, because if you listen closely the engine will tell you when it is necessary to change the gear.
