ML 270 auto slow to enguage gear

[tcryan@gofree.indigo]

My 04 ML270 50K jerks slightly into gear sometimes also when going from forward to reverse (on a sloop)the gears appear to slip then engage then slip again before engaging properly all this happens in about 1 to 2 seconds. Any ideas?

First thing to do is to inspect the ATF level. You will need a special dipstick. Most specialists have them or go to a dealer.
