I picked up a new 2010 E63 and I've been having problems with the MCT transmission - unless its normal for MCT.

I've got only 500km on the car but below 30kph it feels very jerky.

When I come to a stop and then accelerate again, I feel the transmission almost slip. It seems like it takes 2-3 seconds once the brake is released for the gear to actually fully engage.

I found the following thread here:

"I test drove our local dealer's 1st SL63 and I love the exhaust sound, but I wasn't too thrilled with the new transmission. I don't know if it was normal, but I didn't like when I took off from a stop and the clutches engaged with a little jolt."

I'm going to bring the car in to the dealer. Is there anything I should remind/ask the technician to check?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

R

NORMAL. You should have done research before buying. This has been discussed ad nauseum on this forum and also at AMG Private Lounge.
This was why I had to hire a lawyer and force MBZ to take back my SL63.

I have SL63 and it does the jolting also...took it in and they reprogrammed it...cleared up for about two weeks and then returned....somewhere I read this issue was on the earlier cars and the "valve body" was redesigned????

In my SL63, you have this jolts usually when you encounter a Stop sign where you come to a stop and then accelerates especially in C mode. What happen is as you come to a stop the tranny is still not in 1st gear and as you accelerate it will engage to 1st gear while you depress the accelerator which will give you the jolt.

I have noticed that if I give enough time when stopping (to allow the tranny to engage 1st gear) then no jolts. Tranny mode S or S plus will minimize this since the tranny will go to 1st gear faster/earlier.

The slow speed jerkiness seem to be normal at lower speed and low throttle input as the MCT tries to modulate the clutch engangement.

Hi, did you ever find out what that banging noise was, I trust you won your case, what wheels do you have now.
