<span style="color:blue">mine feels like it needs a lower first gear......
trying to take off on a hill i just about need to ride the clutch....


but then again......i do like to take off.....
cant get used to driving off slowly.....(i still drive like a "P" plater)



if you are not slipping the clutch any more in second than if you were taking off in first it should be ok......



if you can use first it would be better as it will place less stress on everything....</span>
