I have a 1998 E320. The trans has two settings. W & S. The manual states "S" setting is for summer driving , "W" the other for winter . The winter setting starts out in second gear, which seems a little smoother to me on daily driving. Is there any harm done to use thi "W" setting all year. Or should I use the "S" setting for regular daily driving. The car performs great in both settings, however the short shift from 1st to 2nd is too quick and seems to be shifting alot when just local driving, stop/start, etc. Opinions would be appreciated, Thanks.
