Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your 300SEL’s performance. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Mercedes-Benz 300SEL transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. If you ignore Mercedes-Benz 300SEL transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your 300SEL at all.

Questions About 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL’s Transmission

  • What can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your 300SEL towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. 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 300SEL transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Mercedes-Benz 300SEL’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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Mercedes-Benz 300SEL? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Mercedes-Benz 300SEL, 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.
