2002 Mercedes Benz E320
Transmission Advice

I have a 2002 MB E320 that I purchased in April of 2014. Despite its beautiful and clean exterior and interior, it had 185K miles on it. I have had the oil and oil filter changed but yesterday I heard a light whirring noise so I turned it off. I started it back up and didnt hear it any more until about 3 minutes after restart and came to a stop light. When the light changed, I gave it gas to go but didnt move. Only revved my engine. I managed to get it to a parking lot and checked wat I could. Theres no leak, no burned smell or anything. I started the car again and it drove ok until I came to another traffic light where it did it again but this time the check engine light came on. So I pushed to another parking lot. Anyway, my question is, does anyone have an idea of what this could be? I haven't done anything yet but im thinking of dropping the pan and changing the filter and fluid myself as I have an associate degree in automotive and not new to any mechanical services. Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
