Your SLS AMG’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.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2015 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

What Are Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Drivetrain Repairs

Your Mercedes-Benz could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice 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. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. A lot depends on your driving style and climate.
