Rough shifting in manual is all user error. From my own experience I had the hardest time shifting under 3k for awhile. I had to rev to 4-5.5k in first to get a smooth shift. Now I can shift under 2k if I want to 'save' some gas for the spirited moments and it's smooth. Then again there are sweet spots too. Or I could be talking up my arse.

The car hit the rev limiter three times until I realized what I was doing ZOMG! Meaning it cut power three times as it bounced the tach needle. I duly then upshifted and finished my passing moneaver.

i've bounced the tach once on a slow redline (70%throttle or so)... never again. never again...

daily driving shifts depend on what i'm doing. just rolling through traffic leave it in 1, 2, or 3 pending gap in traffic. rolling out of red lights i'll just shift low around 3500 area since i blieve its almost 4k rpms to get it to go into 4th.
or if i need to be somewhere i'll shift around 7200-8000k  |
8krpm? did you tune to allow that extra 500 rpm of spin?

I thought so too... something about putting a dynamic strain on the drive shaft and tranny... although I do shift while turning if I wind out first a bit much...
