what did I do?!

I was doing some donuts the other night, and it was fun, and did some more a couple nights later, and now my car feels like crap, it isn't as smooth as it was before, I was cruising on the freeway at 100-110 and it didn't feel like it used to. It shakes a little more, did I brake a rsm? Blow a shock? I checked the tire pressure and it was fine. Also when going from reverse to drive it sputters a little. Or when I floor it and let off at 4k rpm it doesn't know what gear to be in. Also the display for the ac/heater is getting lighter and lighter.

Ugh! What did I do

sounds like the tranny got overworked. have you serviced the trans lately? if not i would definitely look into fluid changes. pray the tranny is still a-okay.

Sure glad I decided to get a C280 vs. a C230. I feel bad for whoever ends up with this car.
