Is this an issue or just normal? Please help

[///AMG55]

Hello everyone,

So I have a 2004 S-class with the 7 speed auto gearbox and the car is having some weird reaction when overtaking or after slowing down and accelerating again.

When pressing the gas pedal while overtaking, acceleration would not be instant. There is sometime a drop in RPM before the car would downshift and then accelerate.

It feels like a gear change but its not. Actually rpm would fall and then the car would accelerate as normal.

Appreciate if someone could give me some light on this.

Thanks
Jake

Maybe time for an auto box service / ATF change

Those were the same symptoms I had when my maf was failing.
