Vehicles equipped with a 7-speed automatic transmission may develop a rough shifting condition, most commonly going up from first to second gear and going down from third to second or second to first gear. Our technicians tell us this is due to an internal component failure. Mercedes has released updated parts; the transmission will need to be removed and disassembled to complete the necessary repairs.

Vechicle jerks into gear when going from park to reverse or drive. Also when accelerating from a stop it will not shift beyond first gear.
Diagnosis-Replace electonic plate with Transmission control module. It was also stated the Turbine Speed sensor is defective.Flag ThisLike0 -

Harsh downshifts 3-2 and 2-1 on wife's 2005 SLK350. Upshifts are ok but slow. Took it to dealer and they reprogramed/updated the shift points. Seemed better but still harsh downshifts approaching a stop. Plan to take it back to the dealer again.

Seem to have rough shifting from 1st to 2nd gear and sometimes on the downshift. I have not had this repaired as of yet.
