The dreaded merc "maintenance free tranny"


There were a couple years where Mercedes experimented with these "maintenance free transmissions", where you supposedly never had to add transmission fluid to the car. The transmission was completely sealed. I had one of those years. In talking to a really good mechanic, he said it is the thing that killed every one of these cars. He said some people only got 100k out of them, some got 300K. Not sure why they would have done this. I guess it was an experiment.
