I drive like an old man because that's what I am. If I start from a stop and press the pedal moderately, it shifts fine but if I barely give it gas to get moving, it will flare slightly between 1st & 2nd. For the $100K + this car sold for when it was new, I would expect not to even feel it shifting. Previously, I drove an Audi A8, a similarly priced high end car with a V8 and don't recall feeling it shift this way.

We'll see what he has to say. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. gsferraro Veteran Jun 19, 2023, 4:49 PM Post #3 of 3 (1295 views) Re: Flaring 1st to 2nd gear Mercedes Benz Sign In Hello, I would have the car scanned for codes engine and trans and have the transmission fluid checked, there is no dipstick on this trans.
