2nd Gear
I know this may be a silly question but can you do any damage to your car if you constantly pull away in 2nd gear. I would have thought this would put strain on the engine and gear box over time.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.One of the jobs of a clutch is to dampen vibration created by the internal combustion engine. It does this well but when you start to labour the engine too much you will feel this vibration coming through the car. This means the damper in the clutch is being over worked. Eventual failure will follow and maybe even one of the damper springs will eject from the plate causing damage to the gearbox . All in all not advisable.
