MB trans. downshifts

Do the auto transmissions on the 201, 124, and 126's rev-match when manually shifted from 4-3 or on the 2-1 kickdown? Also, does the W124 260 start in 1st gear?; the engine feels too weak to start in second.

many cars start in 2nd depending on if the tranny is set on 'sport' or 'confort' mode

Rev matching happens in Formula 1.

Your car doesn't--there would have to be electric drive of throttle--but it will happen soon enough.
