I just bought a 1989 Mecedes 147000 miles on it Very clean car runs
well so far but it shifts a bit hard from 1st to 2nd gear. Is that
normal?
Also- where should the Temp gauge stabilize after warm up in summer
weather?

Change the transmission fluid and filter and it will shift smoother.
90 degree is normal.
