I found this on the AMG PRIVATE LOUNGE and this is what i told my technician.

Greetings all,

Here is the information about the technical document which allows for your DCT software to be updated if you have complaints about shift quality or engagement when moving from a stop on 2011-2012 SLS AMG Coupe/Roadster.

As all technical documents are subject to revision as needed, I cannot post the actual document here. However the document lives in the dealer technical system called TIPS and it will always keep the same document number if it is revised...

That said, here are the details which should be all of the info that you (and the dealer) need:

TIPS Document: LI27.60-P-051188
Coverage: 197.377 & 197.477
Subject: - Procedure in case of complaints regarding shift quality and start-off behavior -

The procedure will:
- have the technician document your complaint (shift quality, etc)...
- they will download some packets of data from the transmission controller...
- they will then see if there is newer DCT software applicable to your vehicle (keep in mind that your vehicle might be already at the most optimized software)...
- if there is new software, it will be loaded into vehicle and configured (via SCN Coding)
- procedure is then complete
