I have recently purchased a Mercedes Benz 190E 2.3L 1987 Automatic.
I am a teenager I have had this car for 2 months. The problem is I was going up a hill and the stop sign to get out of the neighborhood is on tp of the hill. SO when I let off the brakes and pressed the gas to turn onto the main street.. the car felt like I was running over something. THe car then felt like it was in reverse.. I heard no popping sound or anything.. My tires didn't run over anything it just felt that way. Well now Drive does not work... feels like its in neutral. However reverse works.. it has full power like it did before it has not gotten weaker. Could this problem be related to the torque convertor by any chance or is the transmission gone or modulator? I have never had trouble with this car nor did it give any signs of transmisssion wear till this episode. Thanks

looks like your Trans B2 brake band is broken you need rebuilt your Trans,for 14 years old trans is about time.

Any other inputs? Or is rebuilding transmission my only option... or is that the only thing i could check in order to tell if it is actually the transmission or not? Please input is really needed.. I am VERY low on cash and might end up having to sell it as is if I can't fix it soon.. THANKS!

Other option is look for used one....!
