Got a clunking sound in my w124 when I shift up / down without taking care. Had the local repair shop looking at it this week, and they claim there's not much to do. The clunk comes from a bit of play in gearbox, transmission, diff, etc, and all together they create the clunk. It can be fixed, but it'll be very spendy as everything would need looking at..
They didn't check the subframe bushings though, and I have a feeling it could be those. Reading online about it, a lot of people seem to have similar issues, and looking at the construction it makes sense.
Any hive-mind thoughts?
