Bowden cable should be felt to go over center as throttle approaches WOT.

If it down shifts without activating the kick down switch, seems everything working okay.

Low torque breakaway is an engine with a cruising to WOT tune and relatively low stall torque convertor.

Your stall rpm should be around 2300 rpm...all brakes locked and WOT for 3 seconds.

W123 cars take off from standstill in 2nd gear and feel sluggish. Only WOT from a standing start will W123 use 1st gear..... yours should use 1st gear most of the time from a stand still.

If yours is performing as the video example, your running okay.

As for the O2 scan, you need to tap into the O2 signal and use a DVOM set to Auto or tenths of a volt. ie, screen should read : 0.000 vdc.

Using a scanner off the OBDII, you can either watch real time of have it record a drive period. O2 needs to be in Closed Loop and engine operated through it's full cycle of Idle, Cruise, WOT and back to Idle.
