Default Driving a RMVB TH400

For frame of reference I'm going from an M6 to a RMVB TH400 (no brake), 3500-3800 stall and still have 4.11 gears.

1. What is the new method for a burnout?

2. What do I do when coming to a stop light? (to downshift or not)

3. Am I on the gas a bit during the shift or letting off, pulling the stick back and then on the gas again?

4. When cruising/coasting and have slowed down do you just downshift it or just stay in your gear?

These are probably simple but don't seem to be obvious skimming through the search and #2 seems to depend from what I've seen.

1. Do a second gear burnout, only if you have a strong enough engine.
2. Don't downshift
3. You don't have to let off the gas when shifting
4. Stay in current gear, downshifting is very hard on those with a manual vb b/c you eliminate the band.
