1st gear is ridiculously low. Like farm tractor low. I rarely use mine. I usually keep mine in auto, unless I am going up hill. Then I switch to manual and keep the revs over 3000. I vaguely remember reading somewhere that the IMSB doesn't like lower revs. Left to it's own, the car naturally shifts into 5th ASAP which leads to 1700 RPM on an incline. Even without an IMSB, I wouldn't lug an engine up a hill like that.
