I've driven several Mercedes that do that, mostly older models in the 80's.

When that CLUNK noise happens there also is a small jolt in the same direction, like it just wants to go. I don't know what it is, but it is common.

Does that WINDING noise sound like a manual transmission when put in reverse?

When is the last time you had the fluid and filter changed?

Neronero you are absolutlely Correct. it has that exact symptoms, and this is a recent purchase. So I dont know when the fluid and gaskets have been changed. Any suggestion.. Yes I kow try to service the tranny.. but anything else?

Start with that. How many miles are on your CE? Mine has 190,000 and I'm saving now for a rebuilt MB tranny.
