my 190e did the same thing and the driveshaft bearing and flex discs checked out ok as well as the rear suspension and then later my trans started to slip badly and then went out . ive had transmissions go out in the past but ive never felt a rumble before one goes . but funny thing is when it started to slip the rumble went away and then the trans went a week or so later even after i added lucas trans stop slip at the very first sign of slippage . so it could be a sign that your trans is soon to go . but check everything els possible .
