SL63 stalling issue in reverse and drive.

pls hlp....

My friend has the SL63 and when reversing the car stalls randomly.

The car is being driven in comfort mode and some times will stall in first while taking off from dead stop.

Any known fixes or issues with yours????

the dealer says that there isnt any service bulletins or known issues....weird

The clutches would make a little sense...is he fully stopped when going from Reverse to Drive? Ive only had a short experience with the MCT, but that could be a source of the problem for sure.

Small note, there is a single wet clutch in the SL63 tranny, it's not a dual clutch system.

i think your on to something here, the dealer said that the clutch will jerk cause of engaging and disengaging, but i never thought it would cause it to stall.
