It's possible that you have a problem with your clutch. Alternatively, you may simply be releasing the clutch too early or too suddenly when changing gear, not giving the various cogs sufficient time to 'mesh' properly. First gear is a powerful gear, and requires more care when changing up from (or down to) than most others. Fully depress the clutch and lay off the revs when changing to second gear, and try to effect a slower, more gradual release when taking your foot off the clutch. As an added precaution, try to change up to second gear at lower speeds.
low gear, first or second depending on the steepness
Yep, then shift from second to third gear.
The problem is trans. shudder if you have an automatic. I had the same problem in my 1996 cougar,when it would shift from second to third gear. Very easy and cheap to fix, I bought "Mr. tranny instant shudder fix" anout $7 at a NAPA store. After 5 months its starting to come back so I will add another. Good luck.
If you can feel the gear change from second to first when stopping you may need transmission fluids. The transmission could be slipping or going out also. Take the vehicle to a mechanic so that they can see what the problem is.
a bad driver?? Seriously, i could be the ECU
it means second gear is going out!
may be second gear or third gear with preparetion before you go down hill
if its cold out your gear oil is just very thick which makes it hard to shift once the car gets going it should be fine
It tells you your second gear start switch is on. When on, that switch makes the transmission not use first gear. This is good for icy winter conditions.
stock in first gear
well. whenever you have a low idle, you use first gear to accelerate. if u have a higher idle or throttlebody, you can just start in second gear.
Probably, since you are working the engine too hard at that gear.
