.............Well Tracy the trans will start off in 2nd unless u manually shift it to the 1st gear position, if their is a gov plug installed...u need to remove it or drill a hole in it, I believe u only need a 1/8th inch hole.....this info is in the TF-3 kit if u want to return from manual to auto shifting, ofcource there is alittle more to it that, u also have to reverse the plate that was installed to make it manual in the first place.......kim.......
