I would think it should start in 1st. Im sure marshall would know
better though.

Hi everybody!
I know that you changed the list just to get rid of me, but I'm
baaaaaack. (Har-de-Har-Har)
Seriously folks, ALL HAIL Kaleb! (and Rusty too!)
The cheap 190DT that I've been turning into an expensive cheap 190DT
(with Rusty's stalwart help) starts out in first gear. It sat for 6
months over the winter, this spring the oil was changed to M1 and the
trans oil and filter were changed too. When first driven it would not
up-shift until 3800 rpm or so, in all gears. Stuck kick-down I says!
took it out and cleaned it, re-positioned the solenoid coil by about 90
deg. and it now respond to the throttle position as it should, and the
kick-down works as advertised.
It still starts out in first, Q. is this normal for an 87 190DT?
The PO said that the trans was rebuilt, (car has 144Kmiles) and the
secondary pump has been out, by the slight ring of red sealant around
it, and the TC is painted black, as seen from under the car whilst
changing the oil and filter.
