[R129 SL] TRANSMISSION

Limp mode. Cpu boards that manage the drive by wire system can reduce engine output and basically shut tranny down to avoid further damage. Generally dash board light come on to give you a warning.

suddenly my 1995 sl500 developed a transmission problem?
while driving i felt a lack of power - pulled over engine was
hesitating - almost feeling like it would stall when in gear -
idle was fine.
when starting from a stop, almost no power - engine races and slaps
into gear - races again then shifts - but very little power or 
accelleration.
never any problems before - any thoughts?????
