You don’t have to rev engine. Torque will do the work.

Double clutching. 60 years driving these cars and I still grind gears down shifting unless we’re going really slow.

First is good to just get you rolling.

Enjoy.
I very seldom start out in first unless on a up hill grade. Plenty of torque to start in 2 nd. I may be wrong but I believe I am saving on wear and tear of pilot, throughout bearings and clutch. Correct me if I am thinking wrong.
