Shifting points?

Depends on what you are doing. 3K for putt putting around is fine. 7K is good for flogging it. Listen to the motor and you'll figure out your driving style and when you should shift. Now go out and enjoy it!

Cruising around I shift at 3-4k. Having fun with semi-spirited I shift at 5-6k. Pushing it I shift at as close to the redline as I can get. If I am driving for economy I shift at 2k. It's all good.

During break-in I set the indicator at 4k and made sure to shift before then, but after that the engine will take whatever you throw at it.

All this time I thought I was a spirited. No...I am semi-spirited. I guess I may never go full spirit again.

I really don't like to take her beyond "semi-spirited"

Remember this, driving a stick is about mood.
Sometimes slow and low, sometimes hard and high.

And sometimes at 3k.

Nicely put. Most days I just want to cruise and sometimes....
