Why is Your 2006 CL500’s Transmission So Important?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire.

Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Mercedes-Benz CL500 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. Let Mercedes-Benz CL500 transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or discover that your CL500’s not even driveable.

2006 Mercedes-Benz CL500 Questions & Answers

  • 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 my Mercedes-Benz tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your CL500 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my CL500 transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2006 CL500’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Mercedes-Benz CL500 leak transmission fluid? Yes. Mercedes-Benz CL500 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.

  • Is it okay to drive a CL500 with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your CL500 if it’s leaking transmission fluid.

You might even experience transmission failure.
