Questions About 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK500’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Mercedes-Benz's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. 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 offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your CLK500 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my CLK500's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Mercedes-Benz CLK500’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Mercedes-Benz. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Mercedes-Benz CLK500 leak transmission fluid? Yes, your Mercedes-Benz CLK500 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your CLK500 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 CLK500 if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended.
