190D and a 722.4 Shifting Conundrum 1st to 3rd

Car was shifting nicely after I changed out the K1 and K2 spring kits, still does otherwise though.

I came to a stop sign (made a full stop) and when taking off it started out in 1st rather than the usual 2nd. From there, revved up to 3000 before shifting to 2nd then immediately to 3rd. Then proceeded to shift normally to 4th after I've built up enough speed.

Shifts from 1st to 3rd all under 20mph. I can occasionally get it to grab 2nd and go as if nothing happened. It's not slipping. Bowden cable is properly adjusted and vacuum modulator was replaced when I did the K1/K2 service and was properly adjusted. Shifts are quick, crisp and not neck snapping.


Kickdown switch is working properly.

Any ideas? Just happened randomly. Found it a bit odd.
