Jody, do you know when, or if, the transmission fluid has been changed? I
also drive a 1996 SL and because MB did not install any way for a driver to
check the fluid in those 1996 transmissions many times a problem which might
be seen by checking the color of the fluid will go undetected. My
transmission shifts very smoothly and yours should as well. Sometimes a
shop can isolate a suspicious sound by listening with a tube similar to how
a doctor uses a stethoscope.

I think the 1996 model year is a great choice - of course I am a bit biased.

Happy Motoring, George
