2003 Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG Transmission Q&A

  • 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. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your CLK55 AMG towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your CLK55 AMG is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my CLK55 AMG's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2003 CLK55 AMG’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.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG? Yes. Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
