Since my Festiva "L" doesn't come with a tach, I'd have to purchase one to know the rpms, but there's no way I'm shifting over 2K rpm ever.
I shift at:
1st - 7 mph
2nd - 15 mph
3rd - 24 mph
4th - 33 mph
I bump start at:
greater than 5 mph - 5th gear, halfway out on clutch to start it, then quickly switch into appropriate gear
less than 5 mph - key start in neutral
