Of course, you knew that.
This is incorrect;
The auto shifter only goes down to 2nd, still starts in 2nd gear when shifted all the way down.
I just pulled my trans after some governor issues and totally forgot about making this mod.
I think it is the most annoying thing to start off on the line and hesitate while the "automatic" trans thinks about what gear it wants to be in. Meanwhile traffic is showing off it's tail lights.... However, once it wakes up and figures out it wants to be in gear, it runs the R's like a bat out of hell...
Any links to information on making this mod would be most appreciated. Especially if it can be done while the trans is still in the car.

Begging your pardon, this info is not incorrect.....it most definitely works on my '86 300E. It takes off like a scalded ape when the method I described above is used.
