What Causes Shaking in a Mercedes Transmission While Driving?

[DiMaximus]

The reason for shaking in a Mercedes transmission while driving is due to incorrect oil being added to the rear axle. Introduction to the Transmission: A transmission is a mechanical or hydraulic device that converts mechanical power. Introduction to the Rear Axle of a Vehicle: The rear axle refers to the rear drive shaft component of a vehicle's power transmission system. It consists of two half-axles that allow for differential movement. Additionally, it serves as a device to support the wheels and connect the rear wheels. In front-wheel-drive vehicles, the rear axle is merely a trailing axle, serving only a load-bearing function. If the front axle is not the drive axle, then the rear axle becomes the drive axle, in which case it not only bears the load but also functions in driving, deceleration, and differential action. For four-wheel-drive vehicles, a transfer case is typically installed in front of the rear axle.
