The noise could be transmission pump buzz ( just like a PS low on fluid ) This could be caused by low fluid level or a filter that is clogging.

The stall can't restart is an object lesson on why I don't like push button start. Keys are tactile and their operation unambiguous removing the need built in safety controls.
Sounds as though if it is the transmission pump it is nothing I can replace because from what I've read the 722.901 transmission is not serviceable unless done at a MB shop because the fluid needs to be pumped into the unit because there is no fluid tube. Correct??
