okie, that helps.
Now if I can just shift from first to second as well I can from 2-3 and 3-4!
Interesting that you write that, Gage (about shifting). I'm finding that shifting into 2nd is the "pickiest" on my goat. It is picky whether downshifting or upshifting to 2nd. When going to 2nd, I
better have the clutch all the way to the floor, and not a bit higher. Also, it is the "stiffest" on the clutch (if that makes sense; unfortunately I don't know the technical terms. All other gears are a lot smoother. Wonder if your goat is similar, and maybe it at least partially has to do with the goat, and not just us drivers.
BTW, if I recall correctly, Gage, you are learning to drive a stick with your goat. Myself, I've driven sticks before, but am rusty--I hadn't owned a stick in over 10 years, and last time I had driven one was about 5 years ago. I figured the stiff 2nd gear was just me at first. But now I've gotten over most of my rustiness and it is largely a matter of gaining speed on shifting (and smoothness on clutching) but 2nd gear still remains quite different from the other gears.
Try making sure you totally put the clutch to the floor when going into 2nd. If your goat is like mine, this may help.
