I take it that you mean starting in 1st gear and moving the stick through 2nd, 3rd & D?
This will give the feel of better acceleration, but without timing, it is hard to confirm this.
New Subies have a gated stick, which discourages this sort of use. Could it indicate that manual changing puts extra strain on the tranny?
