SL55 Question

My new to me 2007 SL55 today was a bit strange today, I had not driven it in 2 days, temps in 40's, I started, let it run 5 minutes then placed in reverse and no movement, checked the parking brake, it was not engaged, gave a little gas and it lunged back a bit and then normal, any explanation for this, normal with cold fluids?, thanks.

How many miles are on it? First transmission serivce is about at 39,000 miles or so.

Quite possibly a low transmission fluid level.

Happy Benzing!!

It only has happened once, the car has 6500 miles, I will check the trans fluid, thanks for the help, I hope the trans fluid I can physically check not like the oil and must use the digital readout.
