engine vibrates in Drive
When i start my car form cold it vibrates when i engage in Drive (Automatic transmission). It takes a while to engage second gear. When i step on it,it raves up and doesnt engage second gear.

My 99 C230K started running rough in drive, but smooth in all other gears. I will try and clean the MAF sensor first and see if that's the culprit. If not, plug change is next. If none of the above works, I will buy a new sensor.

Curious as to why engine mounts may be the answer. I have the same problem when I am at a stop sign for example. In drive, it vibrates, but as soon as I accelerate from the stop, it's fine, and shifts perfectly.
Mounts seem fairly inexpensive. I was thinking it may be the idle speed?

As the mounts are inexpensive, doing them all at the same time is probably common sense. If the engine mounts need replacing, I would imagine the trans is just about ready as well.

Do the trans mount, motor mounts. Go with Lemfoerder for engine mounts, I don't know who makes a trans mount but just go with MB. It's not a bad replacement on the 202. Just get a breaker bar. And there's a video on youtube for engine mounts.
