i dont really pay attention, but i engage 1st gear pretty low 1K+ ish with very little free spin and think i rev 1st to about 3.5K and shift on V6 cars.
cruising rpm is about 2250+
as for down shifts anywhere between 3k-4k rev range in the lower gear use engine braking. any fast turns prep i think i rev past 5k.
been driving MT for a while and all my cars are MT...well, except for the one my wife uses as her dd.
