Problem with autostick

[ATrom]

Has anyone had this problem before with autostick? When I switch it to autostick..on the dash, where it shows which gear you are in, it always starts me out at 2nd gear and it will not go to 1st no matter if I try and down shift it it still wont.

Any possible causes?

From the owner's manual (you have read it, right?)...

² 2 (Second) gear is normally used for start-up. A 3 (Third) gear
start-up will be allowed only if selected. All other selection(s) will
revert to 2 (Second) gear.
² If the driver starts in 2 (Second) gear and does not pass a throttle
angle of 60%, the transmission will remain in 2 (Second) gear. No
automatic upshift will occur.
² If the driver passes the 60% throttle angle, a 2–1 kickdown will occur,
scheduled by the processor as used in D5. Once the 2–1 kickdown has
occurred, the transmission will remain in 1 (First) gear until 2
(Second) gear is manually selected by moving the gearshift lever. No
automatic upshift will occur.
² Once a 2–1 kickdown has occurred, manually shifting in and out of 1
(First ) gear is allowed until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
² A shift to 1 (First) with the vehicle at a stop is never allowed.
