[W126 Coupe] is my trans going bad?

[Eddie]

I'd say your transmission is done for.  You are looking at anywhere from
$1500 to $3500 for another transmission, as well as possible damaged
transmission and differential bushings, depending on how fast he was going
when changing direction.  Engine mounts could be bad, I'd change the oil to
be safe.  Watch the exhaust for smoke carefully as well, revving it with no
load and everything.

I'm19 and i have been driving my 560SEC for about a year as i got it from my
dad for my High School graduation present. Right now i have without a doubt
the best car in College :). Anyway im writing this because i have an issue
with my Benz. Last week lent my car to my cousin to drive to school since
i'm already out and had no work that day. Well when i got it back that night
the car jerks when i move it to Drive.  From Park to Drive it jerks a bit
but from Nutural to Drive he makes alot of noise and jerks hard.  From what
i was told by his friend today was he was racing a 92 Honda Prelude with
it(which i he said he won). He told me right before the race he was showing
off by putting the car on Nutrual and flooring the gas peddle, so the car
engin is rouring loudly and moving around because of the big engine. And he
said that when he switches gears he wasnt holding on the break to change
gears but was playing around and moving it to R to D to N over and over
without stoping it.  I was told the engin even cut off when doing it.  Its
been a month and it jerks like hell but when driving theres nothing wrong.
Is the the trans or something else?
