start
I got 3.73 gears and i wanted to know if it would be better to start in 2nd or 1st gear from a 20mph roll, cause in 2nd the rpms are about 2500 doing 20mph, 1st gear im already doing 4000 rpms. 2nd has it right in the beginning of the powerband so it still pulls hard, and 1st gear ill lose more time shifting to 2nd.

Why would i need a new clutch when im doing 20mph 2nd and flooring it, im just thinking when i was messin around today i tried in first and i floored it then before i know it i had to shift again, when i punch it in second it pulls hard and dont have to worry about shifting.
