Why is Your 2006 R350’s Transmission So Important?

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Mercedes-Benz R350 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. Let Mercedes-Benz R350 transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or discover that your R350’s not even driveable.

Questions About 2006 Mercedes-Benz R350’s Transmission

  • 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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz R350? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your R350’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my R350's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Mercedes-Benz R350’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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Mercedes-Benz R350 leak transmission fluid? Yes. Mercedes-Benz R350 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Who fixes Mercedes-Benz R350 transmission leaks? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair R350 transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Mercedes-Benz R350 if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your R350 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
