2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK500 Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your CLK500's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK500 to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Mercedes-Benz's recommendations.

When to Get Mercedes-Benz CLK500 Drivetrain Repairs

Is normal to wonder whether or not 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK500 drivetrain repair is expensive. Again, it depends!

  • Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my CLK500? Yes, the drivetrain system in your CLK500 includes the transmission.
