They're often easy to notice. Mercedes-Benz CL500 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Mercedes-Benz CL500 transmission trouble you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your CL500 at all.

Questions About 2000 Mercedes-Benz CL500’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Mercedes-Benz? 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 CL500? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my CL500's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Mercedes-Benz CL500’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Mercedes-Benz's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Mercedes-Benz CL500 leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Mercedes-Benz CL500, 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.
  • Who fixes Mercedes-Benz CL500 transmission leaks? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for CL500 transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Mercedes-Benz CL500 if it has 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 CL500 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
