i think its because the engine have to be up to its normal operating tempeture the gears do not heat up but if the motors cold i dont think it gets the rpms needed to shift. The jato is very fast and it will take up so space to get to second ,i have yet to see my jato hit 2nd because of the limited space. im pretty sure theres a form around here that might explain it better. Or maybe you can get people in here that really KNOW what they are talking about lol
