    No, not that I have ever seen. The Mercedes transmission is state of the art and has at least 5 forward speeds that more than match the engine power and torque curves. If you are having issues with the trans in your MB, go to an ATRA certified transmission shop and have them test drive it.

    thnks for the response, not having any issues with the trans. My other question was, W/S on the console, what does it mean? I read on the internet that it meant (W)inter driving and (S)port driving. Is that correct?

    thanks again
