1990 300E Transmission Clicking
I have 1990 300E and the automatic transmission makes a clicking sound when turning left. It only happens when turning left but it will happen while accelerating and decelerating. I can also feel the clicking through the shifter knob. Whats wrong and how much is my wallet going to cry?

Check your flex discs both front and rear.
They are round rubber couplings with bolts through it.
Rubber can wear and bolts can pull through/loosen.
They connect the transmission to the drive shaft and differential.

Probably the rubber bushings in the shifter linkage:
