May 6th, 2005 06:28 PM #1For engines with 2.0 liter (gas) or 2.5 liter (diesel) or greater, do you think it is advisable to drive from full stop using the 2nd gear (bypassing the 1st gear).
I tried doing it on my Innova Gas 2.0, mukhang kayang kaya naman ng makina.

Clutch assembly running life will be cut short of its driving span. Mabilis makaupod ng clutch disc at kakalog agad ang release bearing.
Use your 1st gear, that's why it was put there in the first place. ;)

Kaya nga siguro... but since 2nd has a higher ratio, it would take more to get the vehicle to move than if it were in first. Minimal maybe, but it would use up more gas.

im not so sure about bypassing the 1st gear. our driver does that a lot on our 98 trooper local version. sanay sya sa automatic kaya tamad mag shift. and hard headed. keeps doing it everytime.
it cost us a fried clutch, disentirgated pressure plate. damaged bearing located between the axle and propeller. forgot what it was called. and ofcourse the often shaking trooper as the suv accelerates.
IMHO the engineers did put 1st gear for a reason
oh by the way. its a 3.1ltr diesel engine turbo. 4x4.

Duda lang kasi ako sa Gas Engine. Hence, this thread. Pero to be safe, I will use the 1st gear.

not on full stop! pwede kung pwede, but it will definitely cost you grand..ching ching.
if rolling, ok lang. kasi may mga ride na design not to push sa 1st when rolling. ayaw kumagat. kaya timpla ka talaga.

Been there done that, I used to start on 2nd gear before. Until my clutch disc was worn out at only 30,000kms when it should have reached atleast 80,000kms before replacing them again.
my dad just go the entry level corolla cross at and he's 76yrs old. he says it's a joy to drive...
