Leaky Transmission for S420 Mercedes

Question by TooMuch Reward: 100 Pond Points + 10 Knowledge Tokens Status: Pending a resolution
The transmission oil seals for my S420 Mercedes is leaking. Is this a small repair job or a complete rebuild situation? Transmission works fine...no slipping etc.

if it just a seal that you can see, then it should be a quick easy repair, however that is providing that it did not lose a lot of tranny fluid, and weaken the gear bands inside the tranny from being dry and hot, if that is the case, then it could be quite a job, so providing it never ran low on fluid, and did not overheat, or get debri in tranny, and it is a seal that you can see with your own eyes, it should be a quick painless fix, but of course only a transmission shop specialist will be able to tell you with 100% certainty ,

hope this helps a bit to ease your apprehention of taking it in and having it checked
