I got my 1st 3rd gear scratch last night

the road was wide and long and no cars were present so I decided to go for it and to much of my surprise, it scratched going from 2nd to 3rd. I was really happy to do this, but after speaking with Russ he said that b/c the cold weather its not a big deal b/c the tires lose traction. well I guess I am still slooooo

Yeah chirp does sound better than scratch, plus it may confuse people that I scratched my gears.

sorry, but...

I don't mean to pi$$ on anyones hush puppies, but that is a cake walk in my mom's saturn. 1st is toasted, second is roasted, and third (depending on weather temp) is anythinf from a chirp to a small squeal. I think that in something like a max 3rd should be expected...

Chirping 2nd to 3rd feels nice on an automagic... doesn't happen often though.
