Questions About 2007 Mercedes-Benz SLK280’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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz SLK280? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your SLK280 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my SLK280's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Mercedes-Benz SLK280 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Mercedes-Benz SLK280 leak transmission fluid? Yes. Mercedes-Benz SLK280 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
