The Mercedes "Automatic Transmissions Maintenance & Diagnostic (Thru
1989)" MB 056-89 (3/89) shows that cars with OM617 turbodiesel engines
(with either 722.1 or 722.3 series transmissions) remain in 2nd gear
when standing still (to prevent creep) but should drop into 1st as soon
as the accelerator is moved to accelerate. If your car doesn't always
drop into 1st, a slight adjustment (shortening) of the shift linkage
(cable) should correct that. Other cars with other engines behave VERY
differently (may stand in 1st, start in 1st, or start in 2nd, or 1st or
2nd gear start may depend on the position of the accelerator pedal).
