A delay of more than a second in shifting from
the neutral to drive or reverse gear, could mean that there is a problem
with the transmission. If on changing from a neutral or park position
to the drive or reverse gear, the car does not immediately catch the
gear and move forward or backward, then it could mean a problem in the
transmission. If you change gears, and you hear a sudden clunk or sudden
jolt or shudder, then the shifting is not smooth and there could be a
problem with the gearbox. If the engine rpm keeps increasing but there
is no increase in the speed, then it could be a sign of the transmission
slipping.Most automatic transmission systems, nowadays, have a check
engine light or an OD light, which flashes if there is a problem with
the engine.
Have engine wiring harness checked as 1993-1995 MB's were forced by US to use biodegradanle insulation on its wires. If thats not it replace coils and do a tunes up.
Check the lower motor mount near the drivers side. This usually is a problem with these cars. It costs about 140.00 or so depending where you reside. Also check the passenger side hanger bearing on the CV shaft if this is loose it will cause jerking too.
CHECK ENGINE light??? Whenever the 'CHECK ENGINE' (Service Engine Soon) light comes on, the ECU (Engine Control Unit) sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). These codes identify the particular engine management system which caused the light to come on.
You'll need to use/find an OBDII (On-Board Diagnostic) Scanner to retrieve any code which have been stored in the ECU computer. Afterward, we might be able to help you DIAGNOSE the problem and perhaps eventually fix the problem.
