Several years ago, there was a company in Southern California that made a first gear start module for the R107 automatic transmissions. It sensed the speed of the vehicle, and used the first gear solenoid to start the car off in first gear (it normally starts in second, unless you force it into first with the shifter or the kickdown switch.
Sadly, the module no longer seems to be available. Would it make sense to try to resurrect something like that, or is first gear start a waste of time and gasoline?
What do you think?
