Help on gears changing please on my car?

im learning manuel trans and i want to know, when you start the car can i put it in 2nd gear rather than in 1gear and to go? i mean even in the winter time i don't like that you have to let go of the clutch slowly while giving little gas than remove your foot from the clutch to increase speed, and one more thing can you dump the clutch, change gear then let go of the clutch really fast? or slowly while pressing gas?

Depends on the gearing of the tranny %26amp; the car; Some can starting moving in second, and others will buck %26amp; stall. Used to make some cars and most trucks with a 'granny low', a super low gear for towing or starting a car on a hill, but not any more. The modern computerized cars will allow you to start uphill in regular first gear. To start a manual tranny car in second you haffta slip the clutch, which does wear it faster.



You start in second on slippery snowy roads because it keeps the engine rpm's really low, which keeps the torque really low, so it doesn't spin the drive tires as easily.

If your vehicle has enough torque, you can start in second but generally you should still start in 1st. Diesel trucks like a Cummins can start in 2nd or even 3rd.



As for the winter, don't dump the clutch, you'll transmit too much power to the ground at once resulting in tire slippage. Just taking it easy. Gas it at the friction point but not too much, slowly (but don't ride) letting off the clutch. Don't exceed what the ground can push back.
starting in 2nd is not good for your clutch, will need a new one a lot sooner

you can just drop the clutch to take off, but again wears your clutch, and you have to rev it up which when dropping the clutch will spin the tires, increase tire wear.



= a lot of $$$ for you to be lazy
