CLS 500 - New Purchase and problems :(

[sambam2006]

Hi Guys,

I finally purchased a CLS 500 (Late 2005 Plate). All was good when I test drove it the day I purchased the vehicle, however when I took it out the next day to get some 'Monster Energy Drink', the car jerks when it changes 2nd to 3rd gear, the rest of the gears change fine its just these gears, even when I'm at a junction I flaw it to but it gives that jerk when it changes gears and becomes a bit dangerous.

The car has no error or warning lights on the cluster, no squeaks or rattles just this gear issue that's getting to me.

I can't see the garage until tomorrow so I thought i'd post here and see what you guys think what the problem could be?

What I think it could but i'm not sure: transmission oil, transmission firmware flash?

Would appreciate the help guys

I would try buying "Red Bull" next time and see if it still does it

Anyway, sounds like typical 7G issues... I would start with a transmission service and reset of adaptations... also a firmware flash would help.
