Want this question answered?
need to know if it is and automatic or a standard shift transmission Automatic has no dipstick to check trans fluid.
There is no dipstick for the trans.
Idling in park, pull the trans dipstick and check the level.
You fill the trans fluid thru the dipstick you check the level at.
If it's a manual trans, you check it from underneath the vehicle. There should be a plug on the transmission towards the top.
Fill it at the same place you check the fluid level.
Check transmission fluid level if full you have an internal trans. problem Check transmission fluid level if full you have an internal trans. problem
It cost around $2800.00 for a rebuilt Trans from Mercedes which is a deal worked out between the dealer & a trans-rebuild Co. If you want a Genuine Mercedes trans from the factory.. It's around $4000.00
: THE BENZ GUY : 1st thing check oil level if thats good its commin the trans front pump goes bad best way 2 check the pump is to take out the drain plug and start the car if the oil does not come out in reverse from the drain plug the pump is bad....note trans must be hot 2 check oil the correct way
Not sure if this will help, I am having the same problem. the first thing I checked for was low trans fluid level, next I will vheck the filter and flush the trans
A P0730 code indicates a problem with the trans selecting the wrong gear which could be due to a number of causes/faults and in some cases, needs a new trans or rebuild. What year car? have you checked, changed or flushed the trans fluid ? I'd start with flushing the trans fluid if that has not been done already or at least check for low fluid level, external leaks, and also inspect the fluid to see if it's brown rather than pinkish/reddish , dirty or smells burnt which could indicate internal problems....if it has the Mercedes trans, there is no dipstick so have a dealer or shop inspect it. "Possible causes - Low transmission fluid level - Dirty transmission fluid - Shift solenoids - Shift solenoids harness or connectors - Transmission mechanical problems - Transmission hydraulic control circuit Tech notes Start by inspecting the transmission fluid level and condition, and change fluid if necessary. When is the code detected? The TCM has detected that the transmission is trying to mechanically shift to a lower gear than intended "Some of the 300's have a Mercedes trans and there was an issue of fluid leaking at the electrical connector. The problem with these how ever is there is no dip stick for you to check the fluid with. If this is the case with your 3oo, then go to the dealer and ask them to check the fluid level for you. They should do this for free." ................. "The Mercedes trans is good, with the exception of that leak I mentioned. There is a dipstick tube with a cap on it. The dealer uses a special dip stick to check the fluid."
The exact same place you check the fluid level.
