Questions About 2006 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.
  • What can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your CLK500’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your CLK500 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my CLK500's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Mercedes-Benz CLK500 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • 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.
  • Where can I get my  Mercedes-Benz CLK500 transmission fixed? When your CLK500 transmission is acting up, Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to help. Book an appointment today for transmission system diagnostics and repairs.
