Slow gearbox 2016 C63S Estate
Hello everyone! Just joined here!
My first AMG and I’m loving it since the moment I got it.
I have a bit of doubt on the transmission and wanted to hear your experiences.
First is on cold start when I want to reverse out of my parking spot, the car does nothing after I put it in reverse. Unless I give it some gas it will not move. If I do nothing after like 5 seconds the car will slowly start to move.
Is this normal?
Second is some times when I start the engine, when I put it in Drive, I can hear like a single bang noise. Feels like the transmission knocked into drive. This happened both warm and cold engine.
Have you experienced this?
Overall I’m not a big fan of the gearbox, when I do a u turn on a narrower street, it is very slow changing from Reverse to Drive. The change is actually not slow but the time I have to wait for it to move is quite annoying.

I have the reverse issue. I just blip it and it goes. Doesn't seem to be anything serious because it goes away after that.

i have the reverse characteristic you mention, maybe this is normal
When you select D are you parked on a hill and the car has rolled forward previously when selecting P. If this is the case I would say normal

The clutches in the trans engauge like a manual from a stop all the time if you really pay attention. When it’s in comfort mode it babies reverse and drive gear engagement, especially when cold. I’ve noticed the 2-1 gear change “bang” or clunk happens when the trans fluid is below 100* and goes away completely when warm. Trans works great once it’s warm and gear changes are almost as quick as my Audi’s twin clutch was.

after the update you will get pops and bangs from exhaust when revving standing still.

i did the update and it def improved everything and made the car do pops and bangs as well. But the 2-1 is still clunky and harsh in sport+ but not as bad as before. now with this update, i have no cold start sometimes though. Seems like everyone with the 2018 mid summer update has this issue (from another thread here in forum)
