Re: Transmission Rattle?

We even went from 1st to 3rd with no problems. Is skipping 2nd fine for driving around, or is this something I should address first?


Going directly from 1st to 3rd was and still is a fairly common practice for many drivers when starting on level ground or on a downgrade; you certainly won't have exhilirating acceleration but, unless there is some metal debris floating around in the transmission you won't do any further harm.

Your problem sounds like a chipped or broken gear tooth.
