Never a problem from the same driver twice.>>28117853>1st gear to 3.5-4kThis is ~12mph for mine, definitely granny gear but 2nd will reasonably accelerate from ~5mph and can go into the 60's by the time it flirts with redline.

>>28117930if your car sounds good it feels good to rev it
>>28117851Better than lugging the thing in second gear, I guess.
>>281178674k in 4th feels natural but 4k in 1st feels like the car is screaming in pain
For 1.6 gaysoline 4k is nothing. Thats how it even makes +60 hp. P=Tw
>>28118037Must be tiny engine problems 'cause it don't bother me 'nun in my V8.
>>28118037Thats because youre going slower so you hear the engine more and the road and wind noise less
>>28118037Also first gear has more engine braking, so it's gonna feel more jerky
>>28118050>>28118054True. I have a 70A pitch mount so the amount of pedal vibration in 1st makes me extremely anxious. It actually trains me to stay between 1.5k-3k on regular streets.
>>28118103Son i think its time for you to upgrade to a car with a little more power... You can climb hills in 2nd gear without any stress at all.
>>28118109It's just a little deficient before you get into the happy rpm range then it becomes a pocket rocket>You can climb hills in 2nd gear without any stress at allI wouldn't have any issue with going uphill in 2nd gear, the problem is at a green light I can't even get into 2nd, read the OP again
>>28117910>>deliberately let the vehicle sag a bit extra during launch to give the niggerfaggot a heart palpitation before I drive offbased
>>28117851Cars fine and that guys used to being "in the lead", so am I. 1st gear at 4k on a 1.6l is what, 25mph? get used to driving a little harder on hills. I think ya did right but he didn't give you room to drive so fuck him. There's a good hill near me, I loiter around 2500-3500 rpm in 4th or 3rd depending on how far the guy behind is at the red-light >t. '03 Mazda MP5
>>281178514k? man youre a total retard. You almost certainly caused bottom end engine damage. Youll likely need a new one after that stunt. As for the transmission it might be fine but id have a mechanic pull it and replace the first gear synchro at minimum.

>>28118050Revving above 2k in the driveway sounds like my engine is going to blow but it turns 4-5k just cruising around.
>>281180374th gear in a 4 speed is usually straight through. All the lower gears pass torque through actual gears, which make noise.
>>28117851People are afraid to rev their cars but if doing 4000 rpm was actually damaging, the engineers would have set the rev limiter lower and not at ~6000 rpm
>>28119128I had the assumption that 4k in 1st gear is more ""damaging"" than any higher gear
>>28119148The engine actually has an easier time revving in 1st gear.
>>28119148Why wold that be the case? What exactly would be damaged?
>>28119149So I take it sustained 4k in 1st for let's say about 10 seconds is less damaging than trying to get to 2nd at 2k after letting rev hang calm its shit (<2.0L engine) risking a huge jerk and traffic accident?
>>28117851Why not just use the e-brake and feather the clutch like you are supposed to?
>>28118037Gear ratios and load, retard.
>>28118037The engine makes different sounds under different loads at the same RPM. When it's at high load the sound is deeper and more thumping. When it's just spinning with barely any gas it's more of a loud whine.
