What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL600

Your SL600’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 the most complex systems in your SL600 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL600 to maintain its performance power. Follow Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Mercedes-Benz SL600 Drivetrain Repairs

Your Mercedes-Benz SL600 may need driveshaft attention if you feel resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages.
