is it ok to slip my clutch often in 2nd gear when my rpm is below 2k?
 

Am I better of feathering at 1500-2000rpm in 2nd gear and have that chattering,rattling or grinding noise or should I slip the clutch to bring the revs up ?

Also, What's that noise when accelerating below 2000rpm in 2nd gear ? Am I lugging the engine or is it something else ?

when im stuck in traffic (every morning), if my car is moving even at like 5mph ill keep it in 2nd. the only time im in 1st is when ive come to a dead stop and then start to move again but barely. once i shift to 2nd, i stay in it (or higher if needed) until i come to complete stop. once in awhile i'll revmatch to 1st again if speed drops to like 3mph or less and we're all creeping forward without actually stopping.

You shouldn't need to slip your clutch in 2nd gear regardless.

Dont slip clutch for no reason.

THIS ^ PERIOD!

5pmh in 2nd :confused0068: does your engine lug or chatter a bit ? mine lug at 16-17mph and below

MY engine chatters even with a light foot especially if its around 12mph. Is the chatter sound normal ?

Does your engine make weird noise accelerating at really low rpm in 2nd gear ? If so, it it normal to have ?

If you're lugging in 2nd at those speeds, you likely just need to be smoother on the gas. The car is perfectly comfortable in 2nd down to 1.5k RPM or lower as long as you ease on the gas when you want to accelerate.

Really ??? even if I'm going uphill with passengers ? I'm noob sorry

Actually mine does have a sort of weird rasp or buzz at low RPM acceleration, I think it's something to do with the fuel injection modes at low RPM.

I don't accelerate at low RPM in 2nd so don't have a noise but would expect that it is lugging. My car rarely sees anything under 3000 while in gear. In the case you said at the start of the thread I would be in first with revs up.

Sowhen your making a turn in 2nd gear it doesn't drop to 2000rpm and below? How fast are you turning ?

From a stop stay in first. Moving start turn, clutch all the way in if too fast through turn clutch out again at end of turn or this is the one time I may let it drop below 3000 but certainly not down to 1500 or less. 3000 rpm in 2nd is not all that fast.

When I roll forward in traffic I try to stay in 1st... but if u are just rolling forward in 2nd & gas it really slow I notice u can get by without lugging the engine at around 6-7 mile.
