I have it from an authoritative source that ONLY the valve bodies
manufactured for about a year (or year and a half) before 1st gear
starts became standard, can be modified. In older transmissions (seems
like earlier than '89), the entire valve body would need to be replaced
with a newer one. '86-'87s for sure CAN'T be modified.

Here's a quote about 124 300E transmissions with some dates:
It was somewhere in the late 90 production run. All 91's have it and
a few of the late 90's also. About 50% of the 89 valve bodies can
be modified and almost all of the 90's, for first gear starts. It is a
factory mod, takes about 2.5 hours (R&R the valve body, D&A the
valve body, and modify which consists of removing one check ball).
