- W212 E250 (petrol) 2013
Hi all,
W212, 2013, 7G+, E250, petrol, 38k mileage....
Sometimes (say 3 out of 10 times) there's a slight jerk when shifting from 1>2 and 2>3, the rest of the upshifts are very smooth. Also, sometimes (say 1 out of 10 times) there's also a slight jerk when downshifting and coming to a stop.
I see lots of posts about this being 'normal' and maybe a software upgrade may help.... I find it hard to believe that this would be normal for a luxury car like this.... I recently upgraded from a W204 (M271 engine 7G+ gearbox) which was smooth as silk.... I do miss it now :'(
Any words of advice ?! I feel it's far too early for a ATF change......Any idea how I can check whether a software upgrade is available? I have an icarsoft 980
VIN WDD2120362A888976
Thanks
