your quadrant should be P-R-N-D2-D1-L.

D2, which you had been using, starts your car off in 2nd gear; 1st
isn't used at all.  D1 starts off in 1st and goes through all the
gears, and that's probably what you're using now.  L really is low; it
won't upshift at all and only downshift into it if you're already in a
higher gear.

i learned this from reading my '66 01 tsm.  my '67 50 [marlin
232/auto] was the same way.  i always drove it in D1.
