Sounds like you need to Check/Adjust your pressure control cable aka bowden cable

Two points:
- the OP's car probably has a .118 transmission. Those transmissions only use vacuum control. There is no Bowden cable or other direct control to the transmission from the throttle linkage, as I explained in my first answer.
- I have had two cars with .117 and .118 transmissions. Both started/start in first. I know that others say theirs do not. The 1-2 shift happens almost immediately upon takeoff.
