Questions About 2004 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Mercedes-Benz's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. 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 G55 AMG? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your G55 AMG towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system.

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.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG, potentially causing transmission problems.
