Common questions about the Manual Transmission Service
What's the benefit of a Manual Transmission Service?
A manual transmission service ensures that you transmission haas fresh fluid inside. This is critical for preventing difficult shifting, clunks andd noises.
By having your manual transmission serviced on time and before any noises or clunks occur, owners often see 500,000km before transmisison replacement is required.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 my Transmission 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.
