Big C280 Problem!!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, I did a search on this and did not see the exact symptoms, but something similar. 97 C280 Sport. I went back to my office yesterday to do some more work, when I went outside to leave, I started the car and immediatley the ABS light and CEL came on. I proceeded to put it in Reverse and got a very hard jolt as it "kicked" in. Then, I put it in drive and got a very hard kick. I shut off the car, put it in W mode and it shifted into 2 okay, but went in to limp home mode. So, since I have to drive 55 miles. I called a flatbed and had it trailered home. Any ideas what this might be? I already found that it might be the ABS Speed Sensor, but what about the extremely hard shift into gear? Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.


It seems like everything is going wrong at once on this thing, it has 98k miles, but come on!
