Why is Your 1989 300CE’s Transmission So Important?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire.

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 1989 Mercedes-Benz 300CE transmission problems could include shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. Let Mercedes-Benz 300CE transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your 300CE at all.

1989 Mercedes-Benz 300CE Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Mercedes-Benz's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your 300CE’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • How often does my 300CE transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Mercedes-Benz 300CE’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Mercedes-Benz. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Mercedes-Benz 300CE transmission fluid leak? Yes. Mercedes-Benz 300CE transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Who does Mercedes-Benz 300CE transmission repair? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair 300CE transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a 300CE with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your 300CE if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
