2001 Mercedes-Benz C320 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Mercedes-Benz's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz C320? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your C320’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
