I'm guessing D1-to keep it in first so it doesn't climb through the gears..? 
Another thing, does spinning your wheels in the snow have the same BAD effects on your diff and diff fluid (and everything else/tranny/engine etc) as doing a burnout on dry pavement..? My friend told me never to spin my wheels in the snow, even if i'm stuck, cause it's really bad for the car. 
PS, one thing i know now...is leave the traction control off when they are spinning-sheesh  |
It doesn't really matter what gear you leave it in, its more of throttle control, apply very little gas only, the more you spin, the worst its going to be because you are creating a layer of ice under the wheels.. If its shifting into other gears, you're going way too fast..
And yes spinning your tires is really bad for your tranny as it heats it up very fast, since there is no load..
Traction control would depend on what type i guess.. if it helps distribute power to the non-spinning wheels, then its good..
