Describe the symptoms
I have heard a lot about problems with flex disk going bad. In fact, a MBZ tech talking at a MBCA Peachtree Section meeting recently said that he sees far more flex disk and oil leak problems in the South than his collegues in other parts of the US. He thought the reason was the variable weather in the South.... this time of year it may be in the 30s one day and then a couple of days later in the 70s. Not to mention the high humidity in the Summer. Well no matter, it is still "God's Country" down in Dixie.
Describe again the symptoms of a problem with the flex disk. My 88' 300E will jerk when you first shift from Park into either Drive or Reverse. In fact, I have learned to always have my foot on the brake when shifting out of Park. It feels like some slack is being taken up before the car is ready to move. Also is there a visual or other method to confirm that the flex disk needs to be replaced?
