Weird vibration at 2100 rpms

Hey all,

I seem to have a weird vibration coming from what seems to be the tranny or the motor. I can feel it all over the car (95 GLE 254000kms).
When it gets to about 2100 rpms it starts and stops at about 2300 rpm. It only occurs at this range. I havent got a clue what it could be.

I have 3 codes showing

A/T control unit or circuit failure

Vehical Speed Sensor

EGR Solenoid circuit or failure.

I really don't thing this would cause a vibration in the tranny. I think it is the tranny cause it feels most great beneath my feet (where the tranny is)

Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Sean

Could it be the exhaust system? Flex section of Y-pipe? I had noise and vibration from the Y-pipe and it was most noticable in that RPM range.

that ran across my mind...and I think there may be a small tranny fluid leak around the axel seal because i can smell the fluid when i really step on the gas. Smells like its dripping onto the flex pipe and burning off.

I really don't think it is an exhaust leak cause i'm not getting a loud noise outside of the car....like the whole car vibrates...like and electric razor type vibration.
