shift question
i just want to check im not damaging my car here

after i start rolling i shift into second, before i really get moving at all, then i go to 3rd in between 12 to 15 mph
and im shifting way too soon here, or is everything fine

Guess it depends on your gear ratio...but any reason why you are shifting so soon? at 12-15mph with 3.42s you should damn near still be in 1st gear unless you are shifting at or under 2000rpms. With 4.11s I am in third at around 20-25mph. What RPM do you shift at?
