The hazards of starting in second gear: The main hazards of starting in second gear: The biggest damage is to the clutch disc, as the wear is most severe in the semi-clutch state; it wastes fuel because increasing the throttle in the semi-clutch state causes much of the fuel to only make the engine idle without converting into forward motion; it is prone to stalling and carbon buildup. If the throttle is not increased sufficiently during startup, it can lead to insufficient power, resulting in incomplete combustion, carbon buildup, and even engine knocking.
