is it more a problem of not being good to downshift into 1st from 2nd or is it more of a dead stop start in 1st - could destroy tranny and why ??

I had 914 with a 283 Chevy and a mild cam. With 901 trans. Nothing to radical. The car never needed 1ST gear. When I got on it too much at the red light it popped the CV joint. It needed to be driven mellow from the light because I was scared I would break something before it sold. I only got the car to resell it. I made a bunch of money on it and learned a lot from it. This was 26 years ago. It was a running car at one time and the guy I got it from pulled all the good stuff off and gave me the parts to refinish it. I was driving a 1973 914 4 cylinder 2 .L Turbo built by Galen Bieker that was fast. Now the Chevy was quick but the turbo was fast.
