My C36 AMG jerks while I'm idling. It has a lil shake when I'm stopped at a light. It doesn't ALWAYS do it, but it does it. I'm concerned because I just had the tranny swapped out. And that took some fine tuning. Does someone have a possible sollution?

Well I will see about cleaning the maf sensor, but over the weekend another problem arose...transmission oil leaking onto the exhaust causing smoking and bad smell.

Any idea where the leak is coming from? Are you sure it's ATF?
