97 c230 won't shift gears...like its stuck in second!
Also at start in drive when I take my foot of the brake it acts like it is still on and doesn't want to go.

Sounds like it's in limp mode. Could be a few things all transmission related.

When did you last have the transmission serviced?

Read through the 722.6xx FAQ thread in the W210 forum help stickies, paying special attention to the (1) leaky adapter spacer that floods the (2) TCM as well as the (3) conductor plate that often has to be replaced in the earlier versions of that transmission (which would include yours, 97 was the first year it went into the W202).

It's all DIY-able if you have basic skills and a clean place to work. Once you've fixed it you'll need to have the codes cleared from the TCM, indie, transmission shop or dealer can do that.

Please also take a minute to click user cp and edit details to add your vehicle and location to your profile, it's often useful information when you're seeking assistance.

Good luck.
