I have started to play Initial D one weeks ago and my friend tells me that I am never gonna win against other if I uses AT.

So I started to use MT and I got confused when it comes to shifting gear.
What speed do I need when shifting the gear upward/downward?
like when 100km/h I will need to shift from 3rd gear to 4th gear?

Help will be much appreciated.
I know this kind of question is kinda noob-ish ><...

You're new, so your focus isn't your speed.

The needle moving in the circle your speedometer is on, your tachometer, is what you should look at. If you're in a certain gear and it's not moving anymore when the needle's way into the redzone, shift up.

Likewise, if you're way too low on the tachometer ( and you acceleration is horrible ) shift down until it gets back up to speed.

The speed varies with the courses, so that's not a good indicator.
