Transmission fluid change
Hey guys, I’m curious what others are paying to have the transmission fluid service done on these 9g’s? We don’t have enough GLS’s at that mileage point yet to reference to. Mine is coming up to 60k and ready for a few things to be done. Is it an overly complicated process as compared to previous MB’s?
Also curious on a couple of other questions…
is the transfer case inside the transmission like it is on the 7g?
Can the torque converter be drained?
Can the front and rear differential both be drained and filled easily? I know that may seem like a dumb question - but wouldn’t you know, that on my 2014 w212, the front only has a drain plug, and you have to remove the passenger side drive shaft to refill it! What a hassle!
Thanks all!
