question !
I 've heard that changin to first gear when you are dirving your car at low speed ( 10 k - 20 k) could mess up your tranny ???
I asked this because there is been times where I m in neutral goign 15 - 20 k and i want some decent power to get going , however puttin in second gear won give you too much power to get it going ( racing) and i ve try puttin in first gear but the car doesnt allowed most of the times .

its not bad at all to drop down to first gear. do 120 on the highway and drop down to first gear youll be going so much faster.
