Try the vibration dampener these are known two split between the rubber and pulley and cut right through the front cover and sometimes lower oil pan.
VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR
This is a recent recall at least in illinois :?
let me know what it is

This is the most likely cause. Most of the time I have a 220 S class with a vibrations when you rev it, its the rear engine/trans mount.

I have the same problem. Makin me crazy. not a miss, not motor mounts. In park in neutral, rolling down the road,always there.
I have no idea what a bad balance shaft acts like and and can't find anybody on this site that explains what a bad balance shaft acts like.
