2014 Mercedes ML 63 AMG
I have a 2014 Mercedes ML63 AMG. The vehicle has 130k on it. Owned since 97k and have only had to replace one wheel bearing, the left front shock, and front breaks and pads. Generally, it runs and drives great. Previous owner religiously maintained the vehicle at Mercedes dealerships, which is the reason i bought it with the amount of miles it had on it.
Reason for the post the Transmission:
When its warm and up to full operating temperature, it runs and shifts really well. However, when its cold (i live in the northeast) the transmission runs horribly. It stutters, revs high just before it shifts, and generally feels like it needs replacement. Its that bad. When it warms up, it goes back to normal.
Does anyone know why that is? Or heard of that happening?
Appreciate any insight!

2008 E350 (W211 @170K), 2012 ML350 (W166 @119K), 2014 E350 Sport (W212 @96K), 2015 ML350 (W166 @92K)
It is supposed to be a full oil change + filter. However, not all service people do full oil replacement since some do not flush the torque-converter. Even more reason to shorten the OilChangeInterval
Attached is the service list for 130K and 140K for 2014.

Mine is a harsh 5-4 downshift when cold.
We suspected a faulty valve body and had it replaced today. When trans oil temp is cold from 45F-70F the downshift is hard. As it warms up shifts totally fine.
curious to see what happens with this thread.
