wierd shifting of S 600
Anyone ever had this?...
Sometimes when pulling out from a stop, the car kind of jerks into the next gear. Usually from lst to 2nd, but haven't pinpointed whether it is that or 2nd to 3rd. Definitely noticeable and not just a subtle little thing...

MBWorld Fanatic!
Just started doing this?
In which mode, S/C?
Have never experienced issues w/various 600/65 gearboxes in many K mis of aggressive driving
Know that many SL63 MCT owners are not pleased w/clunkiness of MCT esp when <50F and/or at low speed...but the 5-speed MB boxes are among world's smoothest/most robust

Mine did this when I had it in C mode. After keeping it in S mode, it never happened again.
I bet it is only a software hiccup.
You probably just need a software flash.

mercedes benz E320 CDi Sport
Had a similar problem on my E320 cdi, obviously the two are far from the same car, but a simple trip to dealership which fixed the problem. My solution would be though to drive it only in Sport mode.
