It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 1984 Mercedes-Benz 300SD transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking at any speed, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood.

Questions About 1984 Mercedes-Benz 300SD’s Transmission

  • 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 a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your 300SD is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my 300SD's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Mercedes-Benz 300SD 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Mercedes-Benz 300SD leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Mercedes-Benz 300SD, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Where can I get my  Mercedes-Benz 300SD transmission fixed? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair 300SD transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a 300SD with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your 300SD to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
