Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

quick question, I find that 2nd gear is a tough gear to start on, is this normal on a 99 996 cab? any inout will be greatly appreciated Thanks, George A.

POST 2Original post

Yes, should not be done on a manual, SOP for a Tip.

POST 3Original post

You don't really comprehend/realise it until you take one apart; start your car with clutch pedal pushed to the floor and only go/move from a dead stop in first gear.

POST 4Original post

I don't get it. Are you saying you want to start from a dead stop on second gear in a manual tranny? Why would you want to do that? It can be done, but it isn't as easy as starting from first since the car wasn't designed to do that. On the tip, it is SOP and 1st is only for WOT take-off.

POST 5Original post

Yeah, in the TIP it automatically starts in 2nd in "D". I usually drive in "M", though, and will use 2nd when just cruising. But if i want to hit it, I use 1st. I also use 1st in going up my VERY steep hill.

POST 6Original post

I have done that but not a very good idea. Rough start at best. Always start in first, second to first gear always and not from neutral. Cheers
