Hey everyone!
I’m new here and hoping to get some advice.
I’ve been searching around but haven’t found anything quite like the issue/noise I’m experiencing with my car, so I thought I’d reach out to see if anyone can help me figure this out!
I’ve had my E320 07 plate sport sedan for about a year now, and I believe the gearbox code is 722.9. Recently, I’ve noticed a strange metallic noise coming from what seems to be the torque converter area.
Here’s what’s happening:
I’ve also attached a sound clip of the car in neutral, switching to drive, and then back again, if that helps.
Thanks a lot in advance for any advice!

Here’s what’s happening:
- When I start the engine cold, the noise is barely noticeable.
- It gets quieter when I put the car in drive when the engine is cold.
- Once the engine is warm, the noise becomes louder in neutral or park.
- I’ve changed the gearbox oil and filter following manufacture specs but that didn’t seem to fix anything.
- The car shifts fine when warm, I've only noticed when the car is cold and downshifting from 2nd to 1st, it feels a bit rough (no clunking though)

Thanks a lot in advance for any advice!
