well for taking off on a hill i use my ebrake ALOT to keep me inplace before the clutch grips and pulls you forwards... its easier that way in my area from all the stupid people that pull right up on your @ss on a steep hill!
only time i really downshift is on the interstate exit ramp or on a steep down hill grade when i know cops like to be at the bottom since they know its a easy ticket location!!!!!
other than that dont over rev the motor when you dont have to for best milage.... and do your best to not grind
if your syncros are damged try to do your best to find the sweet spot to shift to not grind or just try to skip that gear to prevent any more grinding and metal debri to be shreaded into the tranny case...
