Re: How to Keep in 2nd Gear 850 95

Gordon,

When in Winter mode and the gear selector is in 3rd, the car starts in 2nd gear with no up or downshifting. To have the transmission behave as a manual with the ability to manually shift between all four forward gears is not possible as you would want. You are competing with the overall design of the tranny which includes the control unit, torque convertor, solenoids and everything else that makes the tranny do what it does. The only alternative that I can see would to have a manual tranny to begin with...
