I've had this problem for quite awhile now, but it's becoming exceptionally aggravating now. When shifting into reverse, the tranny bangs loudly, sounds like the rear of the car is going to drop out, or I'vecollided with something! I notice it does this when driving and I take my foot off the gas -- it thuds loudly almost every time! It's an automatic, 1994 W124.032? E320 coupe, 88k miles. I even asked the dealership about this earlier on and they said it was "par for the course," as I remember : / Anybody got any ideas?

 

flexible discs?

 

Discs? What kinda discs? If you're meaning brake discs, this bang into gear can occur when shifting from neutral into reverse without brakes applied. Let me know what you think, any advice will be greatly appreciated

 

they also call it coupling or other terms.

you got front and rear. check both of them.

you may have a problem with your front flex disc. also you may have a problem with lb3 in those type 3 nad 4 trans they like to come apart in this case the trans will have to come out and apart its a costly repair
