can you be more specific which area the click is?
maybe low battery? loose battery connection? faulty starte? seized engine?

about the transmission, is the control cable in proper adjustment?

Lol, i think my 91 420 SEL has the same shifting problem as yours. It might just be the car having all that torque and not a lot of acceleration.
