What Does Your Mercedes-Benz S600 Transmission Do?

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your S600’s performance. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Mercedes-Benz S600 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. Let Mercedes-Benz S600 transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or discover that your S600’s not even driveable.

2009 Mercedes-Benz S600 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Mercedes-Benz's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. 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 S600? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your S600’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your S600 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my S600 transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Mercedes-Benz S600’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Mercedes-Benz S600? Yes, your Mercedes-Benz S600 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your S600 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.
  • Where can I get my  Mercedes-Benz S600 transmission fixed? If you have a problem with your transmission system, don’t hesitate to visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care. Our expert technicians can diagnose and repair S600 transmission leaks and other issues. Schedule an appointment today!
  • Can I still drive my Mercedes-Benz S600 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 S600 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
