Re: How to Keep in 2nd Gear 850 95

posted by  someone claiming to be Gordon Wong on  Sun Oct 29 18:42 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Normally I'm a fairly sedate driver.

But, of course, there are those times when I want to feel the rush of the turbo, and I like to feel the punch in the 25-45 MPH range. I'll try your 1 to 3 back to 1 technique, but wouldn't it be the same if I hit the winter button, start it in 1, then push it up to 3 to shift into 2nd. My experience has been that once I'm in 2nd gear (when in winter mode and the selector on 3), it will stay there until I either go to "D" or deselect the winter mode.
