If the transmission started in second gear, then the downshift to first gear was so smooth and fast that it was not detectable, how would you know that it did not occur?

Is there at least some take-up on your Bowden cable? If it is not properly adjusted, you cannot expect that your transmission will shift as designed.

Does your transmission downshift to first when coasting to a stop? If not, when does it downshift? (If you aren't sure, compare it in D versus 2/L. In 2/L, it should downshift all the way to first when slowing to a stop.)
