I think I need a shift light.
mine does it in the first 4 gears havnt hit the limiter in 5th yet! I thought it was valve float but now i have to do some more testing after reading this

C5 tach was notorious for lagging actual engine speed - especially in first gear. C6 tach, probably not any / much different. I suspect it's a slow tach.
