No, shifting at 4800-4900rpm. The power peak is at 4600 but then it tapers off to about 5200, and really drops between 5200 and 5400. All 1987 300D/TD's will have full-throttle shifts around 4800rpm or so. The older cars (W123, etc) would usually shift at lower revs, 4000-4600. The newer trannies have different valve body programming.
