transmition vibrations

[MB1st timer]

my e320 211 2007 year has developed a vibration when stationary it goes away when in drive.It feels like it is around the transmition area,any ideas?

Worn/soft gearbox mounting?

Not the ATF?

Vibration at idle that goes once moving is classic engine and/or gearbox mounts. How many miles on the car?

Engine mounts and gearbox mounts, the difference will be really noticeable at that age.

Is this a big / expensive job?

Hi
Had my engine and gearbox mounts done at 160k on a c class c320 - difference is huge - it's surprising what we become accustomed to over time - from memory it was about £450 at an independent
Cheers

As above you will be amazed at the difference. do the engine mounts whilst you are at it. They make an even greater difference! Transformed my wifes R230 sl after three years of harshness and clonking over bumps. Just didn't realise.
