Ok, im not talking about racing while downshifting, but is it safe at all just to cruise occasionally in first or second gear? Cuz it sounds much more badass, like its stick. Like would u have to start out in first instead of dropping down for it to be safe, or what? anyone else occaionall drive in 1st or second cuz it sounds badass

 

I had done it for a while before I installed my stall and changed the fluid. When I pulled the pan the fluid was fine. No noticable flakes. So I would say it won't really hurt it. Even now, if I street race, at 60mph I'll drop it down to 2nd and pull to redline before shifting to third. No slipping or any other problems. You might want to install a cooler just to keep the temps down because there will be more heat generated.

 

The only down side is decel because your making the overun clutch do the slow down when you let off the throttle. However this would take considerable time to show, The reason is they are only two very small clutches.
