2011 Glk350 Transmission Service Tutorial

[@BigKerchak8025]

Probably best I’ve ever watched to help me with a car.

[@BigKerchak8025]

Just did my car and this was a huge help thank you so much

[@marcodelprato8590]

Hi! You didn´t replace the converter oil? why?

[@Anthonyhancock71]

Thanks. I did this today. Same fluid. Shifts so much nicer now.

[@Dailymercedes]

Glad I can help

[@leonnewhall7088]

How many quarts did you use ?

[@Anthonyhancock71]

@@leonnewhall7088 exactly what he did. 4 out. 4 in.

[@UltraNsx25]

thank you for answering people question and great video

[@gravitygabri3l]

Why do the other tutorial videos say that you need to fill it while the transmission temp is at 45 degrees celcius?

[@borismospan8214]

because he did not read the amnual

[@gravitygabri3l]

@@borismospan8214 "my guy can do it cheaper" lol

[@mohsenzohori2891]

Hes not doing it right

[@LoveKindSunshine]

Search GLK 350 or 722.9 transmission fluid volume and everything says 9.5L. How'd you use so little?

[@00700556]

Didn’t drain torque converter

[@jeffreycicero6685]

Here's what I don't get. I did a 2012 GLK350 and collected/measured the fluid I got out of it, which came out to be a little over 5.5 liters. How is it ok to just put 4 liters back in? Does the 2012 take more fluid than the 2011?

[@jeffereymccallum4243]

We put 5 liters in all Red and Blue MB automatic transmissions.

[@nobombs8784]

It's because the guys complete KZbin hack I bet everybody at Mercedes was loving this idiot for telling people to do it wrong

[@gk_filer]

I watched another video were they heated the transmission up to a certain temp and added more fluid?

[@Dailymercedes]

You can, but this way works the same if you put the exact fluid amount back in

[@supernmtube]

Don't you have to run the car to normal operating temp run the gear selector through all the gears and re check level?

[@Dailymercedes]

Tom Goumas you don’t have to. But if you want to be 100% safe then go ahead but I’ve been doing it like this forever and no problems.

[@supernmtube]

@@Dailymercedes ok thanks

[@nicklaslonnstrom1644]

Yeah and cleaning with wd40 seems legit 😂😂😂

[@lmadmin]

Great tutorial for GLK transmission fluid service. Does the GLK 350 transfer case share the transmission fluid? Or, is the transfer case fluid replacement a separate service?

[@Dons166]

How do you know in advance which fluid. I have a 2015 GLK350

[@paulf9357]

Is there any other way to add fluid to the transmission? I want to add some lubegard additive but the fluid is relatively fresh and don’t want to drain it all.

[@lee8271]

I don't think so unfortunately.

[@lukman8400]

“You have to get a feel” with regards to pan bolts? The torque on pan bolts is 4nm and then 180 degree turn. There was another video saying they break around 12-14nm.

[@alanholding276]

I got coolant in my transmission and it's jerking. Fixed the radiator. Could a tranmsission flush save me or should I just go straight to having someone rebuild?

[@desmondlouis5762]

Currently dealing with this helllike situation. Coolant mixed up in my tranny, luckily for me, I noticed it on time n I did my 2nd flush, it drives fine on D but when i switch to R it delays n vibrates before engaging. Wanna do d 3rd flush next week n if that doesn't fix it, I'll looking towards a rebuilt🥂

[@garrysidhu3845]

Before opening how would you know the colour of the can and what color fluid to use?

[@4habeshaw]

Thanks for the video, very helpful! Do you think this can be done while the car is on the floor? Thanks.

[@Dailymercedes]

4habeshaw of course, just have to have more caution

[@garyparadis4454]

Awesome Help !!!!!

[@davephoenixmusic5017]

Awesome video. Thank you!

[@mdashiqurrahman39]

How did you drain by poked that hole? And I didn't get how did you refill through that same hole at the bottom? So when you poked the drain hole looks like there's some kinda valve that won't let oil drained out. So you had to replace that valve also? Is that a special type fill plug that plugged in the drain hole? Kindly explain a lil bit

[@Dailymercedes]

No special tools, fill where it drains as well, there’s a cap in the hole you just poke with a pick, to release the rest of the fluid, you will also see the cap once you take off the pan!

[@mdashiqurrahman39]

So in that process I gotta take off the oil pan. Because once you poked the cap it has to be replaced when the pan is opened. Its not like my Mazda CX-5 that taking off oil pan is optional when it needs a filter change as well. But in cx5 I could just drain the oil from the drain hole and refilled from the top. Thank you so much for your valuable reply sir

[@mdashiqurrahman39]

Got one more question. How many quarts of oil do I need to do this service? I got information in some website total fill capacity 10.2 qts. But that's total fill capacity, I'm pretty sure this is how it's not gonna dump all fluids. Thank you in advance

[@mdashiqurrahman39]

I just done mine by watching your video. Very nice video. I'm not sure if I put the right amount of fluids. I tried to measure fluid that I drained and got about 4.6 qts of fluids and I filled with about 5 qts of fluids. Hope I didn't overfilled. What do you think the right amount fluids for this job sir?

[@michaelm1186]

Great vedeo, I wished I had a jack like that at home.

[@rosesashes5352]

Great video as always, can you do a video about the common road noise/ whirling noise that’s common with this car. I have a 2011 GLK and cannot narrow the noise down, it’s louder at lower speeds. Thank you!

[@00700556]

Torque Converter Shutter is what it is called

[@thiagopacheco7240]

thanks man really helpful video

[@Dailymercedes]

Thiago Pacheco glad it helped

[@ffdrf8443]

Thank you made me understand the how

[@MrKikicat5]

Hey bro cool video, but can I just change the fluid? Or I have to do as you showed on video?

[@geraldmcneal7110]

Great clips i appreciate it, i doing.my next weekend

[@henrysuarez9590]

nice video! i didn't know this car only had a drain plug and not a fill plug. what model ratchet and gun are you using? they look very handy to work with

[@VuLe-xo2bs]

Hi, my GLK350 has 80K miles on it. I took to the dealership and they told me that is is better not change transmission fluid since it passed 60K. Doing so will cause slip in transmission. He told me that it does more harm to change than not to change. I also heard from another mechanic that I should change transmission fluid and not listen to the dealership. Which is correct? Thanks.

[@Omardottcom]

I have a 95 mitsubishi monteeo that I changed the transmission fluid on when it turn 100K. Replaced the fluid with Amsoil full synthetic transmission fluid, thing still shifts like new and its been 3 years since i did it. 60K miles on a transmission is nothing. However, this method only changes a small amout of fluid, the converter is holding most of the fluid.

[@importdoc7]

I’ve worked on Mercedes for 38 years. Change the fluid, pan gasket, and filter. And clean the magnets.

[@QuantumLeap83]

Can dirty fluid/filter cause shifting problems on these?

[@Dailymercedes]

Daniel Bonner it is possible yes

[@QuantumLeap83]

Okay thanks for reply!

[@ElleryMoore-wn1cf]

I need help

[@dealman3312]

Nice video thanks so much

[@joeyleroy6877]

The Transmission fluid and Transfer Case fluid cannot be changed separately, they one and the same. I just learned this. I have 2012 Glk 350 4matic.

[@gk_filer]

Thanks getting quotes up to 512.00

[@chadiwatfa6581]

You should have also drained the torque converter too to be a 100% job

[@lukman8400]

…and don’t forget the torque converter!

[@ClimapodGreenhouse]

Slippery now

[@mbzdayday4960]

Looks like he doesnt know what hes doing.

[@bostonteaparty3926]

?????????

[@nobombs8784]

It's a shame that people like this think they know what they're doing make KZbin videos to teach other people to do it wrong. Yhis guy is a hatchet shortcut lazy non mechanic. Do not follow his advice... only follow the directions and the Mercedes service manual...

[@00700556]

He did completely fine. Damn yall people kill me in the comments with your negative comments
