[R129 SL] SL320 Transmission Question - Thanks

[Jody Techlin]

Hello All,
I want to thank all of you who responded to my question this morning regarding the gravelly / rattle sound of my SL320 transmisison.  I will have to check tohe possiblility of motor, transmission mount problems as well as the possible bussings in teh shifter linkage.  The car does run through the gears fine - no problems there.  Also, I did not mention that the previous owner did leave  some records with the car, one showing a transmission fluid and filter change in May of 2006 with 20,847 miles - the car now has approx. 28,500 miles so it does not have that many miles on the fluid. One person (Fred) mentioned having a similar problem on his ML that resulted in a need to replace the transmission, I hope that is not the case but still need to find out what the problem is... Again, thank you all for your input.  When I find out what is causing the problem I will report back to you. Any further ideas you may have will be appreciated.  The sound is not deep, just gravelly / rattley.
Regards,
Jody
