The thing is.
Everything works normally if I wait for the Rpm's to drop. no problems at all,the rpm's are at 1500 when cold and it takes no more than 15 seconds to drop depending on the ambient temp.I can safely shift into gear when the rpm's are below 1000 but anything above that and the car acts up from the engine, transmission to rear end,not as radical as breaking a tire loose but enough for me to have to shut it off and start again.
has anybody experience this before? The car is a 1999 SL 500 with 52,000 miles.I don't want to break anything,I love this car and this is a great concern to me.
