Accelerating from stop in 2nd gear....

And you are going to need the PCM from the donor as well.

With all this talk about starting in 2nd gear. Do we really need to act like we are driving on snow and ice? I'll say this, starting in 2nd gear, no matter which tranny it is, will shorten its life. Clutches will need to be replaced sooner and fluids will need to be changed more often. The 2nd gear start is in place for short-term use on snow and ice when traction is limited.

And if you are too lazy to go through all 5 gears, get an automatic. It was made for people like you.

That's interesting - I wonder if that changed pretty quickly. I as positive the A4LD's would do a 2nd gear start by 87 or so.

I am almost positive my '88 A4LD will not do a 2nd gear start. I have heard through the grapevine that it was '89 or 90 when that change was made.

Not counting you. It was a message for all others and a FYI.
