Transmission Noise - 94 E320
 

A slight clicking noise is heard when the car is put in reverse and the breaks are applied as you reverse. Had my local benz mechanic take a look and they validated that indeed a noise was heard. It is hard for them to validate unless they open up the tranny. They suspect the torque converter.

Had negative experiences in the past on opening up transmissions and would rather avoid it. The car only has 93K miles on it and I have owned it for less than a year.

Is there any other way to further investigate what the problem might be?

Thanks,

I have the same engine and transmission in the wagon. When was the last time a fluid/filter service was done to the transmission? This transmission has a 30,000 mile service interval. It is realtively cheap at about $150. Try the service first if it has never been done before you open it up.

Thanks for the recommendation
 

Will try filter and transmission fluid service.
