What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2018 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG

Your SL65 AMG drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Mercedes-Benz, from the axles to the transmission. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 2018 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Mercedes-Benz's recommendations.

Mercedes-Benz SL65 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 fix many 2018 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG may need driveshaft attention if you feel vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG drives.

How much does it cost to fix your 2018 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Major repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.

  •  Can Mercedes-Benz drivetrain maintenance help me save money? Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.
  • What are signs my Mercedes-Benz drivetrain is damaged? Noises toward the back of your Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.
  • How often will I need Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG differential service? We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.
  • What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a SL65 AMG? A multitude of problems can activate your SL65 AMG’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.
  • Is it possible to reset the SL65 AMG malfunction warning light on my own? While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your SL65 AMG’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.
  • Is a drivetrain malfunction in my SL65 AMG serious? If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your SL65 AMG, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.
  • Does my SL65 AMG drivetrain include the transmission? The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your SL65 AMG is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
