Questions About 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG’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. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small.

Maintaining your Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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.
  • Can Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG transmission fluid leak? Yes. Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
