I normally start off in 2nd when just driving around town. My driveway is very steep so I have to go into first every time I get home. I have noticed if I stop completely and put it into first then it pops out of 1st but if I am still rolling very slowly then it doesnt happen. Same when I am driving if I know I need 1st then I put in in 1st before I come to a complete stop. I have 43K on my 04, doesnt happen much for me.
