With a properly functioning and adjusted kickdown cable you can still achieve manual control simply by starting in 1 and shifting up when you want to.

With the kickdown cable disconnected and fully retracted the transmission will still start out in first. It will however shift up much more quickly. So much more quickly as to make the car feel like a slug as it slowly drags itself up to speed in a much too high of gear.
