My 300SD had a cracked flex plate, took a while to figure it out because even though I thought the problem was from that general area, every time I looked, I could not see a problem. Finally after quite a while, and a refusal to drive it, I just happened to put it on ramps and shut it off in just the right place to see the cracks in the plate. It drove me nuts for a long time because it ran well, but something was wrong. Anyway, on the way to diagnosing the problem, I took care of a few other little things.....that was cool! Bob
