To generalize, most, though not all, 722.3xx valve bodies from diesel engine transmissions had full time 1st gear start. 1st can be selected in all, either with the shifter, or with the kickdown switch. A hand operated kickdown bypass switch can be a convenient alternative. A momentary activation of the KD valve sets the trans in 1st; shift points thereafter occur in accordance with the range selected (D, 3, L).
All US cars delivered with a V8 & 722.3 had a 2.47 final, and some euro cars had a 2.24 final.
