1987 560SEL problems with jerking when accelarating

[qweasdzxc]

Hello and i hope this is the proper place to ask for help just found this forum while searching for some answers. I own a 1987 560SEL my problem is lets say i get onto the highway accelerate 1-60 goes smooth then take foot off gas and it auto breaks when not on the gas which i have gathered is common in Mercedes. So it will slow from like 60 to 45 pretty fast and then when i give it more gas there is an aggressive jerk (from the transmission?) from which i assume is it kicking back into a higher gear. Is this normal? Thank you in advance.

Are you trying to say that something has broken (breaks)?
Or are you saying that the brakes apply by themselves?

The breaks apply themselves when the gas is released. I assume that is by design and not broken. I also apologize for posting in the wrong section i will make a new post in the correct section.
