Default 1991 500SL Problem Please help!!!!

Well when I start the car something weird happens, the whole car shakes like I'm in a tractor or something. Then when I drive it goes into Limp Home Mode but sometimes it goes off, strange!!!!!! And yet when it goes off, everytime I accelerate at a green light, I feel just a little vibration. What do I do??????

The vibration may be due to worn motor mounts. If they are bad, then you ought to check the one for the transmission too. Worn mounts may show cracks, be partially collapsed, or leakfluid.

anisrote,
you can get estimated parts prices for your carby clicking the link above for autohausaz.com. Labor to replace both sets of mounts on minewas roughly 5 hours x your local labor rate.
