How you know it is this
- A gearbox service is due
- Harsh shifting that improves briefly after a fluid change
- A leak from the pan flange
- Debris or metallic glitter found in the old pan
Worth knowing before you buy
- Mercedes long called these 'sealed for life'. They are not, and in this climate a fluid and filter service is one of the cheapest things that extends a gearbox's life.
- On many boxes the filter is bonded into the pan, so the pan is the filter — that is why it is sold as a kit.
- The fluid must match the gearbox code. The wrong fluid causes harsh shifting quickly.
- What comes out of the pan is a diagnosis. Fine grey sludge is normal wear; hard metal flakes are not.
What we need to quote it. The gearbox code. The chassis number settles the generation, the body and usually the engine in seventeen characters — it is on your mulkiya. A photograph of the old part helps where there is more than one version.
