For me, from 1st to 2nd, around 15mph, then 2nd to 3rd, at around 30-35mph.

I usually shift 1-2 around 7-9mph and then 2-3 around 20mph. That's just for regular driving. I'm sure if I was really trying to push the car I would shift at redline every gear. I don't really know what aznkukuboi is talking about. You can do the 2-3 shift at a higher speed or lower speed, depending on how you drive.

I seem to shift at 2000 to 2500 1st to 2nd perhaps 2700 to 3rd gear and 3,000 to 4th gear. Seems 5th and 6th are reserved for the expressways - and still shift around 3000 rpm
