I think I'm Shifting Wrong

R0bDC · 01-14-2013, 11:50 PM

Now that I have quite a few people looking at this thead. I have another question but I dont want to start another thread.

What is your take on taking off on 1st Gear or 2nd Gear? I started taking off in 1st gear but when I realize that i was having to shift to 2nd so fast I decided to just take off on second gear all the time lol. I was unsure whether that was bad for the car or if its not a big deal. What do you guys think?

First comes before second, I learned that in kindergarten

Oh man...

(MT question) Who honestly uses 1st gear besides on a hill?

But I mean if you wanna have slow starts and potentially put more wear on your clutch, go for it.
