I have a small problem with my tranny in my w123 300TDT: It shifts from 1st to 2nd with a bit of a shock. Can this also be changed by this K1 kit?

Yep, that's it. Sometimes it slips for more than one second and the rpm's run away between shifts.
That's why everyone backs off the pedal to force the 2-3 shift when they have problems.
The 1-2 shift on the earlier W123's is typically harsh. It was corrected in the later vehicles. I don't think you can easily correct this on the earlier vehicles without some decent expense in changing components within the trans.
It is possible to increase vacuum to the modulator to soften all shifts. However, if you have any 2-3 flare, this would make the flare much worse. If the 2-3 is sufficiently firm, then increasing the vacuum from the VCV (if adjustable) will soften all shifts.
