Bypassing 1st Gear

**basti08** · December 3rd, 2005 12:27 AM

from full stop, inclined/hangin... dapat gamitin ang first gear. pero kung rolling na at kaya nang sa 2nd agad i-derecho. di naman masama, i do that on my adventure. la namang nangyaring masama.
AFAIK, on diesel engines with very short 1st gear OK to. not sure bout gas engines.

di ko gusto mag 2nd gear na nka fully stopped.. ( ayaw ko ma pud2x )
1st gear talaga kahit hintayin kung pumasok syak na nka torque..

what do you think?

Dapat malakas ang makina mo to do the 1st gear bypass.

truck gearboxes. The old L300 is like that. 1st gear on those boxes are only made for creeping (0-20 or 30 kph) and don't accelerate at ALL. 2nd gear is like 1st gear on most cars (0-40 or 0-60 kph, I think) and is all you'll need.

But on passenger vehicles like cars and SUVs with longer gearing, this is bad for the clutch. If your second gear reaches 80kph or more, forget it... start in 1st.

Theoretically, though, you could start in any gear. Drove a Mazda Van before (2 tons, but merely 1.8 liter gas!) that could creep away from a stop in 5th.

EDIT: Andaming thread ressurections ngayon, ah!
