1990 Mercedes-Benz 300D 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. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz 300D? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your 300D towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your 300D is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my 300D's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Mercedes-Benz 300D transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Mercedes-Benz, so check with your technician first. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Mercedes-Benz 300D? Yes, your Mercedes-Benz 300D can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your 300D ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
