What Does Your Mercedes-Benz 350SDL Transmission Do?

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your 350SDL’s performance. They're often easy to notice. Mercedes-Benz 350SDL transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Mercedes-Benz 350SDL transmission problems linger and your could suffer a loss in fuel efficiency or find that you can't drive your 350SDL at all.

1990 Mercedes-Benz 350SDL Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Mercedes-Benz's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Mercedes-Benz tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your 350SDL towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my 350SDL's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Mercedes-Benz 350SDL transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Mercedes-Benz 350SDL? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Mercedes-Benz 350SDL, 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.

  • Is it okay to drive a 350SDL 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 350SDL to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
