[QUOTE="scratch, post: 2123619, member: 1674"] The first gear is usually geared too low unless the package car is loaded down with weight or starting off going up a grade. On a driving test that shouldn't be a problem. I took a new driver out on his second day in a P-1000 one time, he was new to manual transmissions. I told him right off the bat to stay out of first gear and start off in second. He had one bulk stop in the morning and did residentials the rest of the day. When I first started driving, we had some old junkers where it was better to double-clutch in the lower gears. Good luck on your road test arenc8161. [/QUOTE]
