[W126 Coupe] is my trans going bad?

Go read it again it said it was the cousins FRIEND that  told him  not his cousin. Man im 19 too and I know what its like to pay to fix  anything on these cars,
  Good luck getting him to pay up, and as for selling your car DONT. You cant find a car that is equal to your SEC for under 40K.

Take it either to an MB dealer or a independant shop that specializes  in MB. Have then flush the tranny fluid, check the motor mounts, check  the tranny mounts, check the differential mounts..basically just have  then experience the problem and then find it. If the shop charges for  an estimate like that, tell your "cousin" he's paying (I'm suspicious  that there is a ith a car that isn't theirs?).

 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?
