Start off in 1st or 2nd?

Posted

Ever since I got my new clutch that hooks up a little too good for my liking, I have been forced to start off in 1st. I do try 2nd a lot but it likes to jerk really bad since it's so sticky. So what gear do all you guys with manuals start in? I'm talking without a trailer and level ground.

I did the same thing with my Freightliner, but now I have a van with and AT, I just put it in D and floor it :thumbup2:

i miss my standards, im scarred to death to floor my auto carrying a heavy load its built up and still feels like to much slip to me, oh well still very convienent in city unloaded!

The majority of the time I start off in 1st as it is much easier on the drive train and clutch. If I am already rolling down my driveway into the road, I may sometimes start is 2nd or 3rd depending upon how fast I am rolling.
