noob alert.- just trying to boost my posts and avoid flames

just got my V 1 month ago. 1st gear is crap!! Why even put that in a car with this kind of torque??. I know its the 373s contribute to the issue. low rpm shifts are useless. feels like a bad turbo lag. might as well eat the gas and shift right.

Do 2nd gear starts hurt anything?? other than clutch wear?

as long as you dont bog the motor. and dont chatter the clutch. 2 gear starts are fine.
