2002 s430 sounds like a bearing sticking in the transmission
I have a whump whump whump sound that only comes when I push on the gas. I coast and no sound. I speed up it speeds up. I let off the gas no sound.
Any ideas?
Going to a Benz dealer soon wanted to sound educated.
Thanks,
Boyd

if it does it all the time, drive with the service tech or service writer so they can hear/experience it with you.
A noise that is apparent when accelerating and silences when coasting could be anything, from flex disc to bad rearend to wheels to just about anything.

I have had three techs look at it and no luck. It does the vibration in nuetral and not when I power brake it in drive.
He thinks the rear bearing in the transmission is going out
