Strange tranny issue
Hey this is something i never thought to be a problem but idk i thought id ask.
My car when i shift it into a gear say drive, it will lunge forward as soon as i hit the gear and almost stall if i do not hold the brake with my foot. If i do, it will try to lunge foward but it wont, you can feel it and it wont almost stall it will be normal.
Now is this a normal thing?

This just recently started happening in my 97 e420 as well, in drive it leans forward even w/ my foot on the brake, reverse it leans backwards and when i put it in park it leans a little towards the last gear i had it in (either backwards or forwards) is this the same exact thing youre talking about?
not sure if this has anything to do with it but i do know i am due for a tranny fluid change @ 120,000 and im @ 116,500 now..

Not sure what the OP's issue is....maybe something to do with the torque converter.
The second poster appears to have a bad shifter bushing or two.
97's have the 722.6 trans and need the proprietary MB fluid.
