Auto transmission clunk on 500 SEL W126!!

[Bobthebuilder58]

:smile: :smile: I am the proud owner of a 500 Sel 1992 with 116k (GENUINE) on the clock.The car is mint and drives superb apart from a moderate transmission clunk(SOUNDS LIKE IT IS COMING FROM THE BACK END/AXLE?)when i put the car into drive,strange thing is though it doesn't clunk at all when the engine is cold Most of the time it isn't that bad................it's probably me being picky!!!!!!!

Reverse gear is fine with no problems at all! Is there anything i can do to stop it (SHORT OF THE GEARBOX OUT).Once drive is engaged it changes up and down perfectly?

Answers on a postcard please!!!

Bob.

I think bob the fault is at the back end on the pinion or propshaft uj's.

might be the revs are too high..

My 300ce 124 suddenly developed a nasty clunk from the back end (felt like the diff was trying to get into the boot) on up shifts - less noticable under load than if you lifted-off. The vacuum pipe to the auto box had come apart (a small blue plastic and a larger black rubber pipe had come apart). Joined them together and hey-presto instant smoothe changes.

Not often you get free fixes!
