Question about which gear to start in!
my father as a 997 turbo (manual transmission)
he's saying that you can start the car in 2nd gear no problem without hurting the transmission.
I say always start it in 1st gear. I've been taught 2nd gear only is reserved for when the car is rolling a bit.
I'm saying that my father is going to wear out the clutch faster because in order to start second gear you have to be in a higher rpm range rather than first gear..
someone please tell me who is correct.
Thanks!
