No, it is not recommended to start in 2nd gear of the automatic transmission. Here’s why:
*Transmission Load: Starting from 2nd gear places additional stress on the transmission, particularly the gearbox and differential. This can lead to premature wear and failure.
* Reduced efficiency: Starting from 2nd gear results in less efficiency. The car will not have enough torque at low speeds, which will make driving difficult and fuel consumption may be higher.
* Ride Issues: Starting from 2nd gear can cause jerking and jolting, making the ride less smooth and comfortable.
* Reduced service life: Starting from 2nd gear reduces the service life of the automatic transmission, since the transmission is subject to additional stress.
You should always start in first gear to ensure a smooth transition and reduce stress on the transmission.
