Autobox noise

[Daves W202]

Hi guys. When I put the car in drive with my foot on the brake the car makes a creaking noise it isnt the brakes as I first thought. Also when changing up the box sometimes feels like its hesitating and slipping then it pops into gear ok. Car is a 1997 c200. Starting to worry bout this so any help will be much appreciated.

1st check would be to find out if the gearbox fluid and filter have been changed, my W203 service book says it should be changed at 40,000 miles i would imagine the 202 would be much the same, some one more in the know will be along shortly to help you more
