so we have been getting a driveline thump at the top of 1st gear at WOT for some time now, we had adjusted the carrier bearing a few times to try and remedy it with limited sucess, we have shimmed the trans mount in several configurations with no sucess. finally when installing the new exh setup on friday we found the issue that had revealed itself.

dodge will not sell just the carrier bearing/mount separelty without buying a $1200 driveshaft. mercedes does however, we were unable to find a slk32 bearing/mount locally friday but after hours of looking thru the parts database and pulling parts up to compare we did find a clk setup that did fit for us.

i woudl feel a thumping under the center counsil at the top of 1st gear due to the 2 piece driveshaft not spinning straight.

check the attached pictures, the mount casing is supposed to be a circle :0
