1995 Mercedes-Benz SL320 Transmission Q&A

  • 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. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Mercedes-Benz tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your SL320 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your SL320 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my SL320's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1995 SL320’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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
