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
