Transmission Leak

This pertain to the extension MB applied to the warranty on the Transmission, specifically for leaks.

Had just pulled the car out to run some errands, and had to run back inside to grab something. Glad I did, as I found a massive puddle of transmission fluid. I called up my local MB dealer and they towed the car in. They later called to confirm the updated warranty extension on the transmission, and got authorization for a covered transmission replacement.

Two weeks later and my car has a new tranny, with an estimate for $18k, and warranty covered invoice.

2016 AMG GTS with 27k miles - car had been sitting in the garage for 4 or 5 days, previous to finding the puddle, with no transmission issues present pre-puddle.

Damn. This is not good. Any idea where it was leaking from?

Had the same issue few months ago on my 2016 gts, it was covered under the extended transmission warranty. 😬

Must be an internal issue, as this is all they described in the workup:
"ISOLATED LEAK TO SEEP HOLE OF REAR TRANSMISSION. NECESSARY TO REPLACE TRANMISSIONCOMPLETE"

Apparently MB won't do any repairs on the transmission, only full replacements.

Here's to hoping that the new transmissions don't suffer the same date in the future.

Can anyone update on if you need MB warranty in order to get a replacements or is this something they replace without extended warranty on the vehicle?

I believe the original transmission warranty extension is now over, and MB would no longer cover the replacement cost.
