I can say that I'm pretty sure I feel it drop into 1st from 2nd

Kickdown switch stuck closed or kickdown solenoid is stuck in activated
position. Both of those match your symptoms 100% and other defects
would have other symptoms. What gives it away is the car dropping into
first when leaving a stop. That is activated by the kickdown mechanism

I will test this, but I recall from my 560 SL that it normally
rests in second, and normally shifts to first on takeoff.

Does the kick down switch work? Sometimes the solenoid can stick.

The tranny cable adjustment has made it a little more palatable for
regular driving, but if you romp on it at all it'll still go up and
bounce off the rev limiter
