So the good news is the missfire is now fixed. Car runs amazing.

Bad news the terrible vibration (we thought it was down to the missfire) is still there.

Symptoms

Under light load mainly beween 1500 - 2000 rpm i get a judder and vibration.

At 50mph under light load the car shakes and vibrates badly.

The visable bearings front and rear on the prop seam newish and fine. Does the CL63 2008 have a centre prop bearing? It feels like its more center to far forward for rear diff and to far back for gearbox.

I look forward to your responces.

Wasn't it suggested by some very knowledgeable members on here in your other thread that it might be the Torque Convertor

Flexible couplings, engine or gbox mounts.
Flexible coupling, not sure what that is. Ive ordered the center prop bearing today.

The gearbox mount and engine mounts do need looking at to be fair
