Hey Michael.......Anyone who has ever driven a non-turbo MBZ knows they
start out in second gear unless you tromp it all the way to the floor. I
would say YOU are the one who is wrong.

Subject: Re: [MBZ] HOW MANY GEARS IN 300D transmission
Whatever you say, I guess I am wrong. I have half a dozen of those cars
here at any given moment and they all start in 1st. I have had 50+ of
both turbo, non turbo, and gas cars, over the last 15 years and all the
turbo cars started in 1st, non turbo started in 2nd, with first gear
start via kickdown.
MB owners manual for 82 300D says "D" all gears available, manual for 78
which would be non turbo says "D" all gears available(first gear start),
first gear can only be engaged by means of kickdown(2nd gear start).
Sort of figured having that many cars over that period of time all
starting in 1st would be a good clue thats how they are supposed to be.
I guess all my cars over that time have had something wrong with them.
Owners manual is also incorrect it seems.

his backyard and thinks that make him an expert.
Maybe you'll understand better if I say:
BZZZT - wrong
