This is an MT? It was filled with ATF likely for easy cold morning shifts, but AT is a lousy MTF. What did MB spec for it? Likely a 75w- GL4 lube or similar.

Could be poor additives for wear protection, sitting dry, etc. I wouldnt worry about it much unless it is noisy or whiny. Figure out and get the right fluid in there first!
