I never really use cause its so rough. I usually always use 2nd gear to pull away from a stop sign or stop light on level ground or when the car is facing down a hill. Even the syncros in the tranny will not allow you to get into the 1st gear gate unless you are at a complete stop. I think that 2nd gear is the smoothest way for me to get going from a light or stop. What is everyone else's opinion on 1st gear in our manual trans car?
