the reason i shift into 2nd first is because for once i did what someone
told me to. (this is a rare occurence don't think i do it a lot :). and
i didn't a few times and it made horrible grinding sounds. if the car is
rolling i start in 2nd, again to avoid nasty noises, but if i'm stopped
completely i was told i can't shift into 1st first. i don't know how or
why this is the case, but it works.
