| Description of the problem | Transmission at 60000 started making noise. My mechanic diagnosed as transmission rear drive shaft bearing. Looking on internet, many people had same issue at even lower mileage. And mercedes does not make just bearing, the entire transmission needs replaced. Used transmissions are doing same thing. I think it is time to issue a recall |
