Slam dunk (Auto transmission)

[calvin356]

Hi everybody,

I have upgraded my 1986 Manual 190d 2 ltr to a 1987 190e 2ltr auto. Big step eh! My auto box is so smooooth except for when i select and deselect reverse with a warm box (ooeerr) then it feels like someone is hitting the back of my car with a sledge hammer. Anyone got any ideas???

Thanks for stopping by.

Check the propshaft sometimes the centre bearing goes and will cause that type of noise.

Can't understand why you would buy a merc and change gear yourself. The autos are the best in the world. Mercs are about comfort and quality, if you want a 'driving experience' buy a porsche or BM. Personally, I wouldn't have a manual one given.
