Sloppy Transmission Shifting !!

[simon949]

Do any of you 2010 EX35 owners have a problem with the way the 5-speed auto. transmission shifts when you give it some gas but not flooring it or just tell me how you feel about the shifting itself ?

Mine feels 'normal'. It shifts when it is supposed to shift, unlike some other MBZ when it just stays in 1st forever in the parking lot. I think the EX's 5 speed transmission is very mature.

Mine is smooth as... Butter.

Are you referring to the short shift to 2nd it does once you start rolling at low throttle angles? Putting the box in DS and/or selecting 1st gear will give you more control. The short shift is an attempt to save gas.

Other than this feature I find the box works pretty well. I try an anticipate when I will want more control and drop into DS and/or manually shift to a gear in advance.

That makes sense !
