Mercedes Service C

Mercedes E320 service question?
I took my 2004 E320 in for a scheduled C service. They told me among other things that my transmission was sweating fluid and I needed to get the transmission serviced. didn't sound right to me so I thought I would ask here!
Jay, they told me the transmission needs serviced and want to charge me $479.00 to do it. Does that sound right?

Thanks Jay, that sounds right. The car has 60K miles and has never had the transmission fluid changed.
It's possible. The most common fluid leaking problem on the 722.6 transmission is the diagnostic plug socket. Don't worry though, it pretty cheap and easy to repair.
EDIT: It's possible. I mentioned the diagnostic plug leaking because it's the most common fault. It is not however, the only possibility. For that price I'm assuming they're asking to drain the entire transmission, change the filter and gasket as well as all the oil? The synthetic transmission fluid is a special fluid unique to Benz and yes, it is expensive. It's up to you if you want to do it but I would recommend changing the fluid at least once in the transmission. Benz originally stated the transmission fluid was good for the life of the vehicle in those electronic transmission but even Benz is thinking twice about that. They now recommend changing the fluid at about the 3 year/40K mile interval so if yours was never done, you may want to consider it.
