What Does Your Mercedes-Benz S500 Transmission Do?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire.

They're often easy to notice. Mercedes-Benz S500 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. Let Mercedes-Benz S500 transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that your S500 isn’t working at all.

Questions About 1994 Mercedes-Benz S500’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Mercedes-Benz? 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.
  • What can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your S500’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • How often does my S500 transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1994 S500’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Mercedes-Benz S500? Yes, your Mercedes-Benz S500 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your S500 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.
  • Who does Mercedes-Benz S500 transmission repair? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for S500 transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I drive my Mercedes-Benz S500 with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your S500 if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
