Crackling sound when in Drive and Reverse

'02 E320 with 105,000 just started making a "crackling" sound through the drive train ONLY when in Drive and Reverse. Any ideas...???!?!?!

Check the

shifter bushings in the linkage. when worn they transmit a racket into the cabin.
Additionally you might want to check your cats.

I was thinking cats for some reason. Any idea what that job would run?

Bad cats

sound like gravel in a tin can. If a cat is bad and you are in Ca. you can't use universal cats you need CARB Ca. numbered cats. Check the diy section on www.benzworld.org w210 section for some good deals and suggestions on where to get calif approved units.
