Just picked up an '83 500SEL and forgot they even had the default 2nd gear start. Has anyone come up with a mod to have it always start in 1st without moving the shifter out of D?

My first gear start module cost absolutely nothing and will never fail for the life of the vehicle.

It's referred to as my "right hand".

I use it only when I'm #1 at a traffic light or on an upgrade. At all other times, 2nd gear start is more than sufficient. All of them in the que start as though time is limitless so you cannot even use 1st gear.
