I have a 2002 MB E320 that I purchased in April of 2014. Despite its beautiful and clean exterior and interior, it had 185K miles on it. I have had the oil and oil filter changed but yesterday I heard a light whirring noise so I turned it off. I started it back up and didnt hear it any more until about 3 minutes after restart and came to a stop light. When the light changed, I gave it gas to go but didnt move. Only revved my engine. I managed to get it to a parking lot and checked wat I could. Theres no leak, no burned smell or anything. I started the car again and it drove ok until I came to another traffic light where it did it again but this time the check engine light came on. So I pushed to another parking lot. Anyway, my question is, does anyone have an idea of what this could be? I haven't done anything yet but im thinking of dropping the pan and changing the filter and fluid myself as I have an associate degree in automotive and not new to any mechanical services. Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

i have same car with 135 k sometimes transmission won't shift down from drive manually, and wont shift into reverse unless i give more gas and than it will go with a big thug. i think its electronic cause when i turn it off and come back to it
it works great. so i am looking for answers aswell.

Well if the CEL came on there is a fault---Have the fault read and that will be your starting point to find out why!!

I would not waste any money on filters and fluids untill I found out what was wrong, that is if you know the fluid is filled to spec!!
