is it just me or is the gear ration very short from changing from 1st to 2nd? its a pain when pulling out from a junction to either change gear as pulling out or over rev then change gear after.

and when changing gear whats the best revs to be in?

at the moment i rev upto 3000 before changing up or 4000 when i want to get somewhere. I havent gone about 4500 because i didnt know whether it would strain the engine.

1st to 2nd are too close together.

Change gear at the best time for the conditions (road and car)
