I'm thinking of the engine too. Since my engine sounds like a diesel :S His car had 130 something k miles on it so it SHOULD be fine for a while huh? Thanks again YNVDIZ for giving me that link

JDW124 did your car make a whining noise when you revved the engine while driving?
I always thought it was normal, but people used to tell me it sounded like I had a turbo or something, then the other week I got my transmission replaced and apparently I had metal shards in it. Could be an easy way to tell a failing transmission

He also said that even if he did put new gears in, they would eventually start slipping again or something. I didn't really understand what whatev, new tranny, LOL.

Hmmm guess it wasn’t my trany then!
Really thats not what I've heard, my mechanic told me the transmissions in a W124 are one of the most reliable made. He's only ever had to replace 3

Um pretty sure their not the same. The W201's have the 722 series aswell but they aren’t the same models as those dropped in the W124's. My mech told me the 190E transmissions fail a lot more than the W124's and I don't doubt him

It had/has around 220K on it, but I've got a feeling I've been driving it around with the metal shards in it since I bought it bout 3 years ago cause of the sound it made. Still I probably drive it harder than I should haha

Ahh i usually go pretty easy on my car but occasionally give her a thrashing, IF you have problems with your tranny again maybe you should try a 190 Tranny, im pretty sure it will be a direct bolt on, only problem i could probably think of would be the propeller drive shaft, IF it was a problem get one off a wrecked 260 no problem :P, might be an advantage to see how it fares out if you ever get the chance

At My work had an 06 Ford Focus come in only done 13,000k's and the tranny was ****ed had to get a whole new one, we reckon the guy had to be doing ****loads of burnouts n stuff, but we couldn't find any proof on the Computer Memory so either the Guy left the battery disconnected for agessssss and waited to the comp reset or the tranny was just faulty......but i doubt that....13,000k's come on...

Thats an awful lot for a tranny. I'm sure you can pick up a used one from a dismantler for a reasonable price. They're usually still in the car and they don't pull it until someone wants it so you can take a look at the odometer and see the mileage. If its already pulled they're pretty good about documenting the engine/trans' mileage before they store it.
