Goodbye GLE53
Hey all,
First let me thank you for helping this MERC newb out over the past few months. After driving this beautiful car for a bit, my wife and I decided it's not the right car for us. So we went looking for something different and wound up moving on to S580. The car is beyond beautiful, rides and drives so smooth and quiet. We look forward to years enjoying it.
Thanks again. See ya in the W223 page

The GLE shifts fine unless in sport plus. Then it makes the car shutter as if the rear end is going to blow up (exaggerating). I have no issues with 48v. My Ram has a similar system with no issues

It shifts much better in manual mode from experience, there is no room for the transmission/computer to be confused if we tell it when to shift up and down after all. Not saying it doesn't jerk at all but much better. Other than that, forced adaptation and/or stand-still adaptation also improves it, more on that in the other thread.

You're most welcome : ) The thread is quite long but talked about stand-still adaptation and forced adaptation: https://mbworld.org/forums/gle-class...on-issues.html

The adaptation has to be specific, stand-still adaptation not just a normal adaptation, it is not difficult to do but takes time and might need a few tries to get it right, you need a dealership that really wants to work with you. Only do the forced adaptation if stand-still adaptation doesn't help.
