2010 e63 MCT Issue?
Figured I'd try the forums first to help me out, recently I've noticed at WOT the car has a moment of hesitation from 3rd to 4th, it almost feels as if somebody is lazy on the gear changes on a manual transmission.
I'm assuming it's either the clutch packs or conductor plate. Could it be anything else?

Lazy, but does the engagement feel like it throws you in? SMG gearboxes do this when the pump/solenoids are failing. My MCT used to feel ever so slightly sluggish on the upshifts and a bit uncomfortable at times on the downshifts (mainly 3rd to 2nd and 2nd to 1st), but after valvebody solenoid replacement (8 of them, 2 of which were failing), my MCT behaves as normal now, ie fast on the upshifts and comfortable on the downshifts. The repair cost around £1200GBP in Nov/Dec 2015 using MB parts but not fitted at Mercedes. Hope that helps.

Thought I would share an update on my 2010 E63. When they told me that the car had a intake leak that might have been causing the slow clunky shifting in starting from a stop in comfort mode, I thought they meant that an intake gasket had failed. Today I was informed that the intake manifold had cracked and had to be replaced. My SA said they had received a bulletin on the problem. After replacing the manifold it still failed to pass the test and they didn't know what to do so they started a tech ticket on it. Said it may be the valve bodies or they may have to replace the tranny.
