I just changed my front pads and rotors on my 1983 300td. Went out for a test run and worked the brakes. After one particularly hard stop from 35 down to about 5 mph I released the brake and got back on the accelerator and ....uh-oh.....the motor revs but I go nowhere! I came to a stop and shut it off. I collected my thoughts, started her back up, went into D and .....nothing. A whizzing noise ZZZZZZZZZZZ. Put it in park and the wizz noised changed. Ran through the gears PRDS2 and back to park. The wizz slowed down. Went back to D and the tranny caught and I drove off shifting fine through all 4 gears.
I figured I should try another stop to see if I could replicate it and I did.Same problem after a moderate stop. Got it going again the same way and I pulled into a service center. I smelled burnt clutches or fluid, you all know that nasty smell. Fluid level looks good, and it is red.
What happened? It drove fine after that for the 5 miles home but I seemed to notice a driveline growl at around 50 mph, 2100 rpm, right were it locks.

Any ideas? I won't drive it again until I know it is safe?

Thanks
