For some time when going from "Park" to "Drive" or "Reverse" I have needed to use two applications of the gear selector stalk. One application just put it into Neutral. I thought that it hadn't always been like that and indeed my wife's GLA does not behave like it.( I am aware thats a totally different gearbox.)
In addition I have noticed increased fuel consumption down to about 34mpg ( Its a 2015 E350 9 speed).
I remembered seeing on here about a gearbox reset. Yesterday I did that, when completed there is no indication from the car that anything has changed, I didn't drive it.
Today I drove it and found the gear selection issue solved. The gearbox was changing up at lower revs than it had been of late. The journey that I do twice a week returned 42.8mpg.
I think thats a pretty good result for a few minutes sitting in my car and zero cost
