Why does my C-Class transmission slip while accelerating?

Transmission slipping means the engine revs increase without a corresponding acceleration. This problem affects driving safety and performance and can be caused by worn clutch plates, low transmission fluid, o r valve body issues.

Slipping gears often indicate worn clutch packs, low fluid pressure, o r a failing torque converter.

It may also occur due to contaminated transmission fluid o r damaged internal seals.

Solution: Inspect and top-up o r replace the transmission fluid. If the fluid is burnt o r dark, it may signal internal damage, in which case a gearbox service o r rebuild may be required.
