2006 SL55 AMG
Hi guys! i love this car! Having an issue with the transmission maybe? When shifting it seems like there is a delay i guess you would call it . It might also be taking longer to shift to the next gear when getting on it hard. I read about issues when the car is cold and the issue is worst when the car is cold. But what is the cause? Should i do a Tranny service? ( $600 at my dealer )

If you have no recent history, yes, absolutely do the trans service. $600 seems very steep though, get a quote from a reputable independent maybe? But have codes checked first to eliminate any conductor plate issues. But plan on fresh fluid, filter, wire connector plug, and check the TCU for fluid intrusion.
