Should I keep it in 1st?
Question about my street sweeper (automatic transmission)
Because I spend hours on end traveling at under 5 mph, would it be any better on the engine or transmission to keep the shifter at 1st gear (even though it never shifts into 2nd anyway at that speed), or will it not make a difference whatsoever?

Let it shift into 3rd. You'll get home hours faster :wink:
