Questions About 1999 Mercedes-Benz S500’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Mercedes-Benz? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. 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 a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your S500’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your S500 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my S500 transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1999 S500’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Mercedes-Benz, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Mercedes-Benz S500? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Mercedes-Benz S500, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Where can I get my  Mercedes-Benz S500 transmission fixed? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for S500 transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Mercedes-Benz S500 if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving your S500 with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
