Oily rag
Hi all,
I have a slight issue with my 722.6 tranny as fitted to my 2010 C180.
After a cold start, I have about a 20yd drive to the main road, which usually necessitates a stop.
As I slow down to approach the junction, I feel a slight juddering, like you'd experience with a manual car when you try to stop without dipping the clutch.
The car doesn't stall but I get the feeling that the car wants to keep going even though I am braking.
All ok when warmed up.
Am I worrying too much and is this a normal from cold?
Thank you.

No it is not normal, but of course when the engine is cold the idle revs are higher and the gearbox upshifts are delayed to warm up the cat.
ATF level ?
Change the ATF ?

Thank you alecmascot for your reply.
I have to say that the ATF was changed at last service, 6mths ago and the level appears to be spot on.
Maybe I should wait until engine revs have dropped a bit before I pull away.
Be grateful for any other comments.
