Manual Transmission Service
Mercedes Manual Transmission Service Package
What's a Manual Transmission Service Package?
Your Sprinter or Vito will require a Manual Transmission service periodically to ensure a long life.
We find that manual transmission fluid typically becomes dark and contaminated after 150,000km of driving.Â
Reasons for servicing your Manual Transmission
- Keeps your manual transmission shifting gears smoothly
- Reduces wear in your differential which can cause clunks, noises and failures
- Includes Mercedes specification transmission fluid
What's the benefit?
By having your transmission serviced on time and before any noises or clunks occur, owners often see 500,000km before failure.Â
How long does the fluid last?
Mercedes specifies that the fluid in manual transmissions can last up to 300,000km or ten years in between replacement.
But, we often see that the fluid becomes dark in colour by 150,000km, so we use this as our recommended service interval.
How can I get it checked?
If you are unsure about the condition of your manual transmission fluid, the good news is that we check it during any of our A, B or Major services and will advise you if a manual transmission service is required for your Mercedes-Benz.
Is it called a Gearbox or a Transmission?
Manual Transmission and Manual Gearboxes are just a different name for the same thing!
