Questions About 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Mercedes-Benz's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Sprinter 3500 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my Sprinter 3500 transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500? Yes. Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 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.

  • Can I still drive my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak.
