[R129 SL] SL 500 Tranny inssue

[George Jenner]

You might try some simple inspections first before you start looking at that
transmission.  Try to locate the source of the clicking by using a section
of hose where one end is held to your ear and the other is used for probing
around each wheel while someone runs the vehicle backwards in reverse for
you.  By using this method you can sometimes isolate the source of the
clicking easier than by sitting inside the vehicle.  I had a friend who
found that a lug bolt was too long and was protruding out the inside of the
wheel and just touching the brake caliper shield making a similar sound as
you describe.

 

Hope it is an easy fix.  George
