Hi
Something I've noticed over the last couple of months is that my SL500 feels rough if I engage reverse gear while the car is still cold - as in, start the car, engage reverse etc. Hard to describe, but more noisy and rough sounding.
Is this likely to be down to something like an engine mount that needs replacing? Only asking as when I first bought the car I had it checked and they mentioned that one (maybe more) of the engine mounts would need replacing soon. But when I had it serviced recently, i asked them to look at the engine mounts and they said they were fine.
I had the auto transmission fluids etc. replaced a while back when I had major done to the gearbox so it shouldn't be down to fluids.
Be interested to hear what you think, or how I could narrow it down?
