It takes about 15 minutes & 5 miles of driving before it gets easier. I live in Hawaii where its 68 degrees at 6am in January. So, freezing temps aren't an issue. I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this.
Back in the mid 80's when I was a Mercedes technician, we would put Redline MTL Fluid in 300E's to make them shift when it was cold. Anyone try that?
Any help/thoughts are greatly appreciated, Kato
I live in Greece where ambient temps this period are about 10C and have experienced the same exactly problem, I changed once to Motul Gear 300 with no big difference and recently to Redline MT85 that improved 70-80% the gear changes at least with these temperatures.
Plus I ordered the Mtec neutral springs that helped a lot in my problem
