Can you go from neutral to 2nd gear?
Go directly into 2nd? Yes you can, but why would you roll down a hill in neutral? If you must roll down a hill do so in a gear with your foot depressing the clutch. This way if the car gets up to much speed (with cold brakes) you can let off the clutch to get some retardation from the gears.
