Warning Signs My Mercedes-Benz Needs a New Transmission
-
Refusal to Switch Gears
Low transmission or the wrong fluid is often to blame in this situation.
-
Burning Smell
Overheating or old transmission fluid is the root cause of this issue.
-
Neutral Noises
Noises from your vehicle when in neutral are a sure sign of transmission trouble.
-
Slipping Gears
This scenario is dangerous while on the road. If your gears slip, have an auto repair mechanic take a look.
-
Dragging Clutch
A dragging clutch fails to disengage the clutch disk from the flywheel when you press the clutch pedal.

Leaking Fluid
Transmission fluid leaks appear as red or dark brown fluid with a seared odor under your vehicle. Act swiftly if spotted.
- Immediate Steps: Take your vehicle to a certified mechanic as soon as possible. Ignoring the leak can lead to significant issues.
- Safety Concerns: Driving with a transmission leak is generally not dangerous in the short term, but not advisable. Even minor leaks can escalate.
- Long-term Implications: Addressing the leak early can prevent extensive damage and bigger, costlier problems.

Unresponsive
If your vehicle does not respond when you attempt to change gears—especially from park to drive—it’s most likely caused by a problem with your transmission.
How Often Should I Replace My Transmission Fluid?
To combat any underlying issues or unexpected problems, we recommend replacing the transmission fluid after 60,000 to 100,000 miles if it is your first time. If you are a city driver with constant changes of gears, we suggest you replace your automatic transmission fluid closer to the 60,000-mile mark.
After the first transmission fluid change, we recommend routine replacement every two to three years or 25,000 to 30,000 miles.
It is best to familiarize yourself with your owner’s manual for the best service interval of your Mercedes-Benz year, make, and model. We ensure to use genuine OEM Mercedes-Benz parts to maintain its original factory make.
