Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Mercedes-Benz SLK300 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood.

2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK300 Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Mercedes-Benz? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your SLK300’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my SLK300's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2009 SLK300’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Mercedes-Benz's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Mercedes-Benz SLK300 leak transmission fluid? Yes. Mercedes-Benz SLK300 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Who does Mercedes-Benz SLK300 transmission repair? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for SLK300 transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Mercedes-Benz SLK300 if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving your SLK300 with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
