I downshift, and disagree with some of the above statements... However for an inexperianced driver then what they are saying is correct.
You can shift at any time when your RPMs are above 2k. I try to shift at about 3k but when theres a lot of traffic and its stop light to stop light I'll go to 4 or even 5k for a while. The engine noise more or less tells you when to shift as well, and if you shift too soon, you'll know it. Good luck
oh and remember the higher RPM you shift at the worse gas mileage you get, I try to drive around town (speed limit 30-55) in 4th to conserve gas, but sometimes ya gotta cruise in 2nd or 3rd for power, or to impress with the exhaust
