View Full Version : 1st gear start on 300ce J.I. Chiu 04-22-1999, 02:31 AM I want to find out if someone makes a transmission valve body for a 1990 300ce.I would like it to start in first gear consistently since I really don't like having to put my foot to the floor in '2'to access first gear. ------------------ Benzmac 04-22-1999, 11:11 PM The way that works is by closing a switch that is located below the accelerator pedal. I have oftem wondered what would happen if you wired a switch to it then had the switch on your shifter so you could easily access it???? Just a thought. ------------------ Benzmac: ASE CERTIFIED MASTER AUTO TECHNICIAN LEAD TECHNICIAN FOR 14 BAY FACILITY MERCEDES SPECIALIST 8 YRS PARTNER IN MERCEDESSHOP.COM Lee Scheeler 04-22-1999, 11:32 PM I believe the tuners. (AMG, Brabus, Renntech, Lorinser, usual suspects) make a 1st gear start valve body. I think it runs about $1,350 from Renntech. Of course, there is also "tricking" the tranny switch but... Lee altan 05-12-1999, 04:02 AM I notice some version of 190E come with the E/S switch next to the gear knob, what does this switch control ? Is the benzmac suggestion applicable in this case ? Thanks Donny 05-13-1999, 05:46 AM Hi.. well... I think..I know that switches... E is stand for Economy, the car will start in 2nd gear for smooth driving and gas efficiency...and S.. I think is stand for Sport. It will start in 1st and will change gear in a higher rpm. This'S' is more sporty drive. Thats it I think... |
