    Ooh if I were in 5th at 30, it'd be shudderville. I usually don't go into 5th until 55 or 60.

    Why do you start out in 2nd? The dragging feeling of starting in too high a gear must feel wrong for a reason!

    I don't know other than my husband said to, I've done it since my first manual shift car in 1984, it doesn't feel wrong, no drag so that is 28 years of no adverse effects. Maybe it depends on the car. I know it's not the same but we've started out in 2nd with the tractors my whole life. I've been driving cars/trucks, automatic and manual for 40 years and tractors longer and I DO NOT ride the clutch (reference to a previous post), that would be stupid.
