I have a 98' ML320. We bought it with about 32000 miles on it and it has been great. We have had really no problems with the vehicle, and I'm pretty picky.

My wife drives the vehicle most of the time. But I had it out the other day and noticed that when slowing down, like approaching a traffic light the downshift to low seems to be harsh. It shifts fine everywhere else but the last downshift before a stop.

My wife mentioned that she noticed this recently.

I searched for downshift posts but didn't find much. My first thought was to check the transmission fluid level. As it appears it is not possible to do this (no dipstick)

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Also, what is the red button on top of the transmission dipstick tupe cover?

Thanks

Marc
