Transmission Knocking from 1st to 2nd
Hi all,
The automatic transmission in my 85 300td makes a knocking noise that I can feel through my seat whenever I step on the pedal hard to shift from first to second. If I gently to moderately step on the pedal when accelerating, this does not occur, and while I make it a point not to drive with the pedal to the floor, sometimes it's gotta happen. Does anyone have any insight as what might be causing this problem and any solutions? Thanks in advance for any replies!

I would check the flex discs, and look to see if there is any play in the drive shaft. It could be that the pinion on the differential would need adjustment. Lift the car and take a look under the car.

check the center bearing in drive shaft. the rubber might be torn and dry rotten.

Could be that your vacuum is too low causing a very hard shift. T a vacuum gauge into the line going to the modulator run it up thru the cowl and lay the gauge outside the windshield where it is visible and go for a drive using varying pedal pressure on the accelerator to see what the vacuum levels are and how they related to the noise. I've driven a 116 where the vacuum level was so low it chirped the tires almost everytime it shifted from 1st to 2nd.
