I noticed a $1100 receipt for Caesar's Powershift rebuild that mentioned a first gear start modification. Dave T-Bow does some part swapping to make a first gear start Powershift and I just got around to playing with it some more. If you put it in drive, it just shifts like a stock unit, but put it in "2" and it goes 1-2-3. It makes a big difference in the throttle responses and driving feel. I need to tweak the throttle pressure adjustment a bit since it's a bit late in upshifts at light throttle. (1 to 2 at around 20 MPH, 2-3 at 40 MPH with light throttle) With that adjustment it waits to hit the red line before it does a automatic drag strip upshift.
