New 05 C-320 Transmission concern?
Just wondering whether or not anyone else with a new C-320 is experiencing transmission issues ("skipping"/hesitation)? When excelling (automatic transmission) from 2nd to 3rd gear, I notice a hesitation/skipping with the transmission that does appear normal?

the skipping goes away after a while. the transmission is probably still breaking in. i'm guessing your is an auto, try playing with the - and +. after a nice warm up, let the car rev up high up a bit to redline or at least past 4k rpms then press +. it will allow the transmission to learn to rev up at rpms (higher than 3k rpm at least if you are driving with a light foot) and make it less skippy.
