1st Gear Start
I noticed some people (Rainmaker, 500E) have installed a '1st Gear Start' on their cars.
Now, I understand the MB boxes start off in 2nd, then changing down to 1st if you use lots of throttle, which gives quite a delay. But in my 190E, you simply shift the lever into '2', and if you then stop or slow down enough, it locks it into 1st gear, perfect for starting off. It will only change up if you hit ~6000rpm - you could drive all day in 1st at 5000rpm and it wouldn't change. This is also the case for other 190s, so not just my car. Does the 300 - 500E not do this, or amy I missing something? Why don't people give it a try? later, Russ
