Differential problem, possibly transmission
I have an 07 S550 4matic which just crossed over 66k, it has been a phenomenal car except for today. I was driving today and then suddly my car came to a screeching hault, I turned it off started it up, and pulled it off the road.
I had it towed to the nearest mechanic shop were they told me the transmission was bad, but I felt like the car still had a good transmission so I took it to a Mercedes mechanic and we put it on the lift and he said the front differential is bad on the car and showed me that it had a leak, and he assumes that all the fluid leaked out and caused the problem.
So I have two questions do you think my tranmission might be bad also?
And where can I get a front diff for under $2500, or is it interchangeable with other benz models?
Thanks!
