What’s the Importance of Your 2011 SLS AMG’s Transmission?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your SLS AMG’s performance. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. Let Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that your SLS AMG isn’t working at all.

2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Mercedes-Benz? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Mercedes-Benz tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your SLS AMG’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my SLS AMG transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2011 SLS AMG’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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
