Transmission Starting To Change Gears A Little Harder? Could Be Failing Flex Discs!
If your 190E's automatic transmission is starting to change gears a little harder, or you are getting a vibration through the transmission or center tunnel while driving, your flex disc may be deteriorating. This chassis has two flex discs that connect the transmission to the driveshaft and the driveshaft to the differential. These units will wear out over time and even if you are not noticing any signs of trouble, they should be inspected every year. The discs are made out of rubber and are designed to absorb some of the shock from the drive train. Like anything rubber, they dry out, crack and will eventually fail. If you let the discs get to that point while the car is in motion, they can cause a tremendous amount of damage.
