When its time to switch gears, can you feel a slipping clutch? In other words, are you hearing your motor revving at strange times (i.e. when not accelerating) or are you personally struggling to change gears in manual mode? If so, youll want to schedule service before your transmission fully burns out. The other major problem youll feel when its time for a transmission repair is a laggy delay when its time to shift gears—so, when you speed up, youll notice your motor roars for a little bit too long—and when youre in manual mode, youll feel a sticky sensation, like your cruiser is fighting you to change gears.
Also, sometimes youll smell its time for a transmission service—specifically, youll sense a burning odor when your transmission fluids run too low, which results in your clutch over-revving and creating too much friction, which leads to excess damage. Speaking of the fluids, make sure these liquids never turn red, as these are a sign of a leak, and will need instant repairs before youll need a full gearbox replacement.
Occasionally, youll want to flush out your transmission fluids—even when not experiencing gearbox issues. In fact, this service can help remove the sludge and particles from your transmission system which helps you avoid many of the red flags we discussed above. Also, a fluid change works wonders for buffering your seals and extending your gearbox life, while also assisting in removing the feel of a slipping clutch to help you get back to exhilarating cruises when you begin to feel issues emerging. As a rule of thumb, every 40,000-90,000 miles is a safe range to perform your transmission flush (check your owners manual for more specific information), but if you ever have questions, a member of our service team is always happy to take a look and give you a solid answer.
Most Mercedes-Benz models suggest a transmission service every 40,000 miles since this gives our technicians a chance to remove unwanted contaminants from your system to help you enjoy a more fluid, lag-free cruise when you hit the open highway. Plus, since your powertrain system wont need to work as hard to compensate, youll also get boosted help in improving your fuel economy, which leads to fewer gas station interruptions in your smooth A220 or track-geared Mercedes-Benz AMG GT R Coupe.
Not sure if your transmission needs repairs? Stop by and ask one of our experts to take a look, as again, these professionals know Mercedes-Benz vehicles inside and out. Since our technicians are factory-trained, they also know how to check the fluid levels and help you shift gears at optimal rates without slipping—whether you drive an automatic or a manual transmission.
