Im getting my ss 2.4 shipped tomorrow, but its been about 2 yrs since ive driven a stick regularly. I have no problem driving it, but ive never had to drive it in traffic. I wanna know wut u guys do in a 15-20 minute delay traffic setting. Do u always start in first or do u leave it in second once u stop? I have stalled 5spds out a few times and i dont wanna end up stalling it out on the highway.. so tell me if im really just freaking out or is there anything that i can do?

 

neutural if you are sitting. if its stop go leave it in first

 

pretty much just leave it in first if its stop and go if your stop u can always leave it in neutral or in 1st while you have ur clutch in

 

i just usually keep it in neutral or put it in neutral when i come to a stop....in traffic i try my best to keep it in first even if im riding the guys ass a little

 

cool sounds good then... it was suggested to me to leave it in second, but id rather take the word from ss owners

 

if your going fast enough were you can keep it in 2nd, do that. if your taking off from a stop, doing so in 2nd gear puts exessive wear on the clutch. taking off in 2nd gear is only for slippery roads (snow) and trucks with a compount low gear (for towing).

 

gotcha...first it is.....

 

and dont you stretch the belt in the car as well because its working an ASS load more?
