I've been shifting around 3-3.5k for regular driving. I'll try revving a little higher. Our first gear is so short.

Side note, how are most MT drivers positioning their seats? I'm still trying to find the "sweet spot". I'm relatively short (5'7) and when I position my seat so I can fully depress the clutch and still have my knee bent, I find it uncomfortable as I'm now too close to the brake, gas, and steering wheel. This weekend I backed up the seat so my leg is fully extended when the clutch is to the floor and it seems to help with my shifting as well. Its a little awkward having to stretch my leg to start the car but I think I may have found my "spot". The Zs friction point seems rather high for how far (deep) the clutch travels.
