Please explain..............??

W124 First gear start and Transmisson question

But there's also this -

Auto Transmission secong gear start.

Sixto
87 300D

That sounds like the best solution... the car rests in 2nd gear but moves off in 1st... the power you want but it "pulls" less when stopped.

Plus you could hook that system up to a switch so you could still move off in 2nd if you wanted to.

I've done some research and found those threads, but dismissed the electronic FGS due to the following post by Satish:

Factory FGS module? (002 545 41 32)


He doesn't explain why the kickdown switch won't work for six cylinder vehicles, but in another thread he refers to insufficient pressure at idle to achieve the 2-1 downshift.
