Why a transmission overhaul is more than just a repair
Mercedes transmissions from the 1960s to the 1980s – whether automatic or manual – are known for their high quality. Nevertheless, typical problems can arise over the years:
Jerky shifting or slippage
Leaky oil seals or worn seal packages
Noises under load or at certain speeds
Wear and tear of clutch plates, bearings, synchronizer rings
We don’t just repair gearboxes – we analyze, test, disassemble, clean, replace and adjust until the function, noise behavior and shifting quality are correct.
