HARD SHIFT

2011 e550 Luxury 2WD p2 ++

You are loafing along on the flat at about 20-25 mph and you start up a mild incline. Because this V8 is loafing, it doesn't bother to shift down right away. For whatever reason, you lift off the gas just a tad and the car does a jarring ~HARD~ shift. And I think it's an UP shift.

Do you experience this?

What could have happened is that the car downshifted and then immediately upshifted when you lifted. I've done this. Just a bit of electronic confusion.
