When I was changing the transmission fluid on my W177, I noticed that this model does not have a filter, unlike previous 7G cars I have worked on.
I don't know if it is safe to use Sport Plus - in my opinion there are two types of transmissions, one model with a filter and one without. You will see in the datasheet that some transmissions are 700.42 (without filter) and others are 724.0/724.1 (with filter).
The cars I've worked on with the 724 transmission had Sport Plus as default on the W205 (non-AMG), it makes sense to enable it here for the W177. I've experimented with 700.42/724.0 before and noticed a similar shift feel, whether that makes the transmission worse without the filter, who knows.
