if you're talking about the shifter, when you hold the shifter to the right when upshifting, the shifter will only move one position. (floorshift that is)
Pull it all the way back for first. Then when you want to shift, push forward and to the right and it stops at second. Let up on the shifter and you push forward and to the right and it stops in 3rd (drive). I've got one in my 69 goat. No button pushing required.
