Yeah, tell me about it. I only lost 4 grand in trade as I was out the door at 12 and got 9 for it for an 09 xb with automatic. Other than the tranny it was a great car. My problems were first to second and 5th to 4th. Once you missed the 5 to 4 shift any attempt to redo it resulted in shifting to reverse for me. I would slow enough to go to 3rd, then shift to 4th and 5th.
The shifting to first problem didnt bother me as my mercedes was the same. Basically I would hold the shifter to go into first and as I rolled to a stop or start to roll back slightly it would slip right in and then I applied the brakes while at a stop.
