[QUOTE="youdoofus, post: 8573714, member: 664079"] 8 speeds... constant mentions about the trans never knowing what gear to be in. Constant shifting and it starts annoying some folks even tho its an auto. When accelerating, the trans will drop a couple cogs depending on throttle position and try to select the gear appropriate for the request from the throttle input, when you only have 5 gears, its far easier for it to get it right, but when you have 8, it might drop down to 5th, and if it isnt enough for your situation, you put your foot down harder and it had already been in 5th for a few seconds, so when it drops to 4th, its revving the nuts off of itself. There are perks to 8 gears too, but i constantly see complaints. Mercedes even started shying away from them for a while until their ECUs and torque figures could catch up [/QUOTE]
