Optimal MT shift points. - Toyota Yaris Forums

I usually shift between 2,500 and 4,000 for first gear, because of the ridiculously different ratio's for first and second, then it's usually around the 2,500 - 3,200 mark.

The OP is looking for the optimal shift points as it concerns fuel efficiency. The RPMs you listed are much too high for that. In fact, the RPMs you listed are where I shift while accelerating from zero on a 6% grade!
