too late? too late for what? your beginning to scare me.

its more of a slight "pop" (or a TICK) sound when it downshifts (occasionally). I have owned the car for 2 years and its always done this. Never knew there was a "too late" point.

I wonder how much is this gonna cost? My mother (55) and my 17 month old nephew has to drive this car about 250 miles per week (all highway driving). I certainally dont want to break down on them on the highway.

I cant even find "flex discs" listed at local auto parts stores.

Found them on the site here... they are cheap too... over $100 for one and $64 for the other. I have to take the car into the shop for some work in two weeks... maybe the MB tech and look into it.

You said to check them... how do I check them?
