Hello all,

Just wondering if it's possible to rewire or disable the second gear 
start in an earlier W126.

The car is an Australian-delivered 1985 380 SEC.

If I slip the gearstick back to '3', it will start in first gear.

Is it possible to make this permanent?

I know with the models post 86, there is a kit, but as I have the 
selectable first gear, this would be a different setup.

Anyone done this?
