Please advice . S-550 vibration when acclerting
Dear all . I have an s550 2008 with 170 KM ( I'm in Canada )
I got it when it have 80000 km and the transmition service was done to it and they told me no need to do it again.

Now every time I try to accelerate my speed the car vibrates from the back end .

I had it checked by few people not the dealer and they said you need a new trani

It shift very fine and smooth. . I tested the shaft and it's not it .

Can some one help ?

Check your tranny and engine mounts first. maybe they went bad.

Both tranny and engine mounts where changed and new ...
It is like the whole car shakes but If I accelerate slowly .. then it does not do it.

in that case you might want to have the tranny pan dropped and inspect for clutch lining material. If it shudders then I have a feeling whoever did the service might've over or underfilled the tranny.

if it is in fact the issue it all depends on how long it went like that and how worn out the clutches may be. Hard to say.
