    There should be a placard in the engine bay to the front right, looking down the car, it will have RPM's for man/auto... also will say so in the handbook.

    It's not uncommon for VT's to idle between about 600 and 1000 in N. Obviously Manual will vary but Auto mine sits at about 900. If by "rough" you mean there is vibration, could be worn engine mounts, that was the problem with mine, got them replaced it's like sitting on a cloud now :P
