722.1 idles in 2nd speed range at a stop light to reduce the car's tendency to pull against the brakes.

My 722.120 in my 1978 300SD makes an immediate downshift to compound low (1st speed range) the minute I release the brake.

There is a control unit under the passenger';s side kick panel that controls this function via a solenoid on the transmission....
