That's pretty much why I took it in today. I don't expect they will be able to experience the problem; the car needs to be fully warm and even then it's a bit intermittent. Maybe SDS will show something awry - assuming they look at adaptation numbers and don't just look for error codes.
Problem with the shotgun approach is they charge a ~$100 diagnostic fee if they don't find a problem covered by Starmark.
Reading old posts, seems there's a good chance it's just a little low on fluid. I'm hoping they check that - I don't have the dipstick tool. Nothing on the garage floor, but I haven't been under the car either. Trans has never been serviced; dealer says MBUSA never issued updated maintenance schedule and refuses to perform routine servicing on it. Seems to agree with what I've read in the archives; many countries changed to require servicing at ~40K miles, but not USA.
