I'll be the outlier. My 15 RWD C300 shifts smoothly. It's snappier in Sport/Sport+ but not jerky.
Either that, or I'm just used to it.

2015 C3004M here, the only rough shift I get is in cold temps from 5-4. It gets back to smooth after 5 min of driving.

Had the 5-4 downshift issue but the dealer was eventually able to fix it. That harsh downshift really bothered me..it was pretty jerky, and now it’s smooth even on cold starts in cold weather

Do you remember what they did for you? Some kind of valve maybe?

They changed the valve body and did some kind of adaptation to the torque converter

I have 2018 C300 with 10k miles on it. I have no issues with gear shifting whatsoever.
I have pushed it hard with different driving modes as well.

2019 C300 Coupe AMG Sport Package
I have a 2019 C300 Coupe Sport and I've recently noticed that it shifts roughly at times, recently it has started occasionally "bucking" from a cold start when given gas. It does 3-4 bucks and is fine after that. "Dealer could not replicate" of course.

na
When in sport + and driving at 60-70kph (37-44mph), my g7 gear stays in D3 and rpm stays around 3,000. Is this normal? It usually upshifts at around 3,200 but sometimes stays in the same gear and makes loud mechanical noises.
This is after I reset transmission adaptive shifting because I'm pretty sure it didn't upshift until past 4,500 rpm and was making crazy noises in sport +.

The initial post is from 2016 and was referring to the 7 speed transmission (7G) built at the time. You have the 9 speed (9G) transmission in your 2018 car. The 9G does not seem to have those issues.

Sport and Sport+ driving modes are adaptive meaning that the harder you are on the accelerarion the longer they delay upshifts and they do not tend to "fall back" to early shifts unless you park the car and start all over again.
You can get upshifts at very low rpms even in S and S+ if you are gentle on the accelerarion, but once you floor it the shift points go up to 3k+ rpm and won't drop until you put it in park.

a slight vibration when braking when the car downshifts from 4 > 3.

I also noticed a slight vibration when braking when the car downshifts from 4 > 3. It's really not a major vibration but I can feel it in the brake pedal and the steering wheel. The loaner I have doesn't have this problem but still has very jerky shifts. Hoping to get my car back tomorrow and report any new findings
Did you fix your problem, when the car downshifts from 4>3 having a light vibration??

C300 Benz 2011 4matic
Whenever My car starts to accelerate and change gears it starts giving some small jerks at gear 3 above and very noticeable when climbing uphill. Why is that happening? i drive a c300 benz 2011 4matic. I have changed engine oil and gear box oil and also serviced the fuel injectors. this is also noticeable on the car speedometer as seen in the video attached. this happens a lot while maintaining constant speed
