After the first shift it starts to sift like it should without any problems. I wonder if the cold is causing something, or something weird with the vacuum. any ideas?
Vacuum modulators were used on the mechanically controlled models but not on the electronic ones. The W210 used both types (they switched over sometime around 1997). If yours is a 98 or 99 then it is electronic. Earlier could be either. Find out which one you have and let us know. You can enter your VIN here and it will tell you:

Basic things need to be checked - fluid level being one, but if you have the electronic model you can have it scanned or try resetting the adaptation codes and seeing if that helps.
