2008 Mercedes C300 4matic whining/whistling noise coming from drivetrain
I just noticed today with the radio off the car from 30- MPH is making a whining /whirring noise coming from the drivetrain. you can really hear it from 40-50 and up. Now, it is not really loud, more of faint noise. It is defiantly coming from the drivetrain as I has someone else drive and put my head next to the shifter, and there was the noise. As soon as I put it in N it goes away. It is also quieter in manual mode, in a higher gear. I don't know what this could be and would like to know ASAP! One other thing is that when coming to a stop, at about 15mph, the car gives me a harsh shift, if I brake fast. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas!
Thanks

Sorry for the late response. I did a fluid change at 40k and filter change. I took it to the dealer which my friend works at. Told me very quickly, "get rid of it" He said it needed 10,000 tranny and driveshaft. Needless to say I sold it at auction and the buyer had a transmission to put in it. I am still upset that this car had such a major problem at low miles.
