I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Theres a trick to hold second gear. Start off in 1 like you do for first gear. when you want to shift to second gear, shift up to D. Wait a second or two for the gear to engauge, then shift back down to 1. That will hold second gear. When you want third, shift back to D. That will give you third gear, then OD for 4th. Its called the 1-D-1 shuffle. Going from 1 to D causes the transmission to shift breafly over second gear right into third. That is not good for the transmission. Hope that helped some!
