You let the clutch out at 3.5k ?? thats freaking high.. You'll finish your clutch in no time..

I let out between 500(normal -- relax) and 1000 (steep) .. Depending on driving conditions..

You should aim for 1000.

About shifting at 2000, its true.. It isnt something I came up with. Its reality.. It comes up in Road and Track every couple of years..

Using that strategy, I hold 1st till 2500, and shift the rest of the gears at 2000.

Usually people will hold till 3000 before shifting..
