my new C280 shift hard and hesitate on cold start why?
So I just got this new Benz. And only once a day it'll shift hard for first ten min. Even if I let it warm all the way up. And also it'll shutter and hesitate but once it gets through that it drives like a brands new car? Weird. Just want any info before I bring it to shop. Or back to car lot lol. I think trans flush? Idk. Thanks. 07 c280 4 matic 60k miles.

I'd recommend the transmission service (flush/fill/new filter and gasket). I purchased a used 2006 c280 a few months ago and had similar problems along with other transmissions issues.
The previous owner never did the service and since I was close to 80k miles where it was recommended again I went ahead and had the service performed. What a difference it has made.
Also keep in mind that just because your engine temperature is warm doesn't mean your transmission will be the same.
