When the selected is shifted down into 2, the car will start in 1st gear and go no higher than 2nd gear. IF the shifter is in either 3 or 4, the car will start in 2nd gear unless the kick down switch is hit from flooring the gas pedal.

What he's asking is when he selects 2 with the shifter, his car doesn not start in 1st gear as it should.


There is no selecting of 1st gear with the shifter, but you can get the car to start in 1st gear by putting it in 2.
