I've been really noticing that when I drive my car seems to be starting in first gear. I get 3 shifts between 0 and 45 mph, when accelerating mellowly.
Sometimes it seems like i'm in a second gear start, but the rest of the time, it seems to be starting in first gear. Could my car have a modified tranny or did they have first gear start on some of the 1992 300CE cars or all of them? Seems weird, if I take off from a stop, the car will shift at around 10 mph or so under a light acceleration. Under heavy, I can take it to red line as it should. Trans shifts quite smooth and only shifts harshly once in a while. Tranny fluid looks fine and smells fine, though I plan on having it changed with the filter sooner than later. So my question now is, Did my car come factory with first gear start? Am I just imagining things? How would one tell if it has been modified? Thanks for the advice, Just want to clear up some of the questions as I thought they had 2nd gear start. Alon
