Rep Power: 16	I have a similar issue when going up hill in traffic while in second. once traffic slows down significantly, i either give it more gas in second (to avoid stalling) or completely stop and shift into first and go from there. I feel resistance if i try to shift to first while the car is moving at all so i never shift into first unless i am at a complete stop. Do you guys ever shift into first when the z is in motion?
