Merry Christmas and Greetings,

I've noticed this to be somewhat normal during initial warm up of the tranny fluid. You may also experience early shifting or drawn out harsher shifting when the fluid is cold. Somehow this seem to be much more noticeable in a diesel engine powered car than a gas as my 300E doesn't trend this way, but both diesels do.

Charles
