Thye trans actually starts in 2,unless you are moving off up a hill or have a load in the car ,such as 4 passengers.
In normal driving ,if you push the acelerator right down it will work the kick down and make the trans move off in 1st.
Keeping your foot down keeps the transfrom shifting up,as you have described.the trans in any Merc is setup so that all you have to worry about is acelerating and braking.So unless it is slipping...don't worry ,be happy![:D][:D][:D][:D]
