Default Rumbling under engine area after a stop

I have 1999 E320


I recently have rumbling under the engine as I'm coming to a complete stop in traffic. Also engine sound like it's idle high before I completely stop . When I come out of the stop to accelerate it's slow to go into drive or seems like it wants to stop completely.

Does anyone know what could be causing this????

Automatic?
Any oil leaks?
Get oil level and codes read by dealer.
Get gearbox mounting checked.
Then maybe you have to start thinking about whether its time to get worried.
Subject to the above please come back with the answers and vehicle details.

Automatic, just had oil change and had both engine mounts replaced. I do have a small oil leak my mechanic said he would check next time brought in.

If gear box mount what does that mean??

But thepower unit has three mountings. there is one under the gearbox.
If the other two have been changed then this may have damaged the trans one during the change.

Thanks ... I didn't realize that there were three. One was bad my Mechanic said that he changes both.

To clarify the engine mount supports are what keeps the engine from moving rumbling? Thats what I had changed.

I'm not guru on cars.....
