SL63 2008 MCT ISSUE

I have a 2008 SL63 with 42000-km , and recently when I start the car in the morning or when its cold , there is slippage (empty throtle feeling ) in the 1'gr and in reverse , its like to press the throtle in D mode but the car wont move , When the car is warm there is no slipping gear issues , does anybody have an idea what can that be ?

There are a few threads on this. It is pretty normal for this transmission. Getting the latest software updates and reset the transmission computer can help. Only other step is the internal MCT part upgrades which my guy priced out at around $9000.
