Can Mercedes-Benz drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are signs my Mercedes-Benz drivetrain is damaged?

Why is my SL55 AMG malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

Can you reset your SL55 AMG’s malfunction warning light at home?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your SL55 AMG, but it's important to resist the urge.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG

Your SL55 AMG’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Mercedes-Benz, from back to front. It’s one of your SL55 AMG’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

What Are Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Mercedes-Benz could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." A lot depends on your driving style and climate. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG drives.

How much does it cost to fix your 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG drivetrain? Minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. But bigger repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
