Mercedes Benz W220 S500 LWB (facelift version) - Mercedes transmission issues only when cold - Charger08
Hi everyone,

When the transmission is cold, the 3rd to 2nd downshifts are very rough (abrupt) and the 1st to 2nd uphifts are rough and sometimes flare.

The ATF and filter have recently been changed but did not resolve the issue. Actually, the ATF change caused the 1st to 2nd upshifts issues. Before the ATF change, I had only the downshifts issues when transmission is cold.

I would really appreciate if I could get some help on this matter.

Thank you,

Charger08
