So after flying down the highway for a while in my 126 AMG, I went to pass someone and all of a sudden it sounded as if something broke loose in the tranny, and it was making a "Ratcheting" sort of noise at high speeds under accelleration. If I hold the shifter handle or even rest my hand on it the noise goes away.

What holds the shifter lever on?

How is it mounted?

I was wondering if anyone else has had this sort of issue with their Benz, and what the problem turned out to be. I thought it could possibly even be more serious and be some sort of bearing problem within the tranny.. Anyone's help is appreciated.
