Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Mercedes-Benz CLK320 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. Let Mercedes-Benz CLK320 transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that your CLK320 isn’t working at all.

1998 Mercedes-Benz CLK320 Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Mercedes-Benz's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your CLK320 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your CLK320 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my CLK320's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1998 CLK320’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Mercedes-Benz CLK320? Yes, your Mercedes-Benz CLK320 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your CLK320 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.

  • Can I still drive my Mercedes-Benz CLK320 if it has a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your CLK320 if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
