Questions About 1990 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC’s Transmission

  • 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 I tow in a Mercedes-Benz 560SEC? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your 560SEC towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.

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 560SEC leak transmission fluid? Yes. Mercedes-Benz 560SEC transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
