Tranny mods?
Is there any way to make any modifications to the automatic transmission in the W123 turbo diesels so you can start out in 2nd gear. I've heard some of the newer M-B's do this. I'd like to be able to have a 2nd gear start in my turbo diesel especially during the icy & wet times because in 1st gear the car usually spins its tires when starting out in any slick conditions even with studded snow tires.

Take it to a transmission shop. I believe it's just a valve body mod that should not be to hard.

I thought it already started in 2nd gear unless you put a fair amount of throttle into it...

My 1980 (116) 300SD, starts off in secound gear, if throttle is pushed to the floor, it hit's the electric kick down switch and will start off in first gear.
On my 1985 (123) 300D, it starts off in first gear all the time. |
