it totally shifted rough from 1st to 2nd, it was a hard kick and was worse when it was cold or had just started. my 300CD was Diamond Blue with Creme Parchment interior. I loved that car.
I'd say that my transmission was fine and that I was most likely just being paranoid. (as usual) I know that as of a couple of months ago, it's still running. I seen it around here somewhere. I believe it was at a gas station. Speaking of which, diesel is now $4.85 a gallon here, which is insane.
I did know the name of the color of mine, but I can't remember now.
I tell ya, even with the small flaws it had, on the way home when I bought it, (which was about 45-50 miles away) it drove beautifully, especially on the highway. 80MPH was nothing for it. German cars are always noted for their high speed stability and that one was definitely stable.
I ended up getting nervous once we got on the two lane roads that were more populated because I had a headlight out, a tailight out, and dead tags.
So yeah, I was pretty paranoid about the police.
Oh yeah, one more thing that annoyed me about the car was that it would keep running after you turned off the ignition occasionally. This, too, was a common problem with these cars and an easy fix from what I understand.
