Paranoid c6 auto question
Alright, so I've got a dumb question about the c6 tranny. When I reach up on the column and put it in 2 should my transmission be starting out from a stop in 2nd or should it start out in 1st and shift up to 2nd. For some reason when I put it in second and go from a stop it seems to take a little more to get moving throttle wise, nothing major but it feels like it starts out and stays in second. Is this right??? Like the title says, I've never really noticed it before, but I'm afraid I'm just paranoid cause my new radiator and IP are working and I seemed to have all the bugs worked out. Clarification would be helpful though.

yup, normal. starting out in second gear when you put the shifter in "2" is for starting out in slick conditions like snow or mud to limit wheel spin and let you get moving

Alright, thanks guys. That's kinda what I thought but I couldn't be sure without at least one more opinion. Like I said, I'm finally getting everything dialed in and working so perfectly so I'm getting paranoid about something else going wrong I guess.
