MB Doc,

Is a '87 300SD supposed to start in second gear like the '79 300 TD above?

How can the transmission be adjusted to shift to 3rd gear from high gear without pushing pedal to floor enabling the kick down switch? Even at 25 MPH the transmission will not downshift without enabling the kick down switch. I would like the transmission to downshift at about half throttle below 40 MPH like my 300SD does.
