Product Description
The SKP gearbox sump is a vital component in the drive train system of select Mercedes-Benz models. Designed to house and protect the automatic transmission fluid, it also incorporates an integrated fluid filter and a drain plug for efficient servicing. This gearbox sump helps maintain proper lubrication and cooling for the transmission, supporting smooth gear shifts and overall performance.
This part is compatible with specific Mercedes-Benz vehicles, including models featuring the W205 chassis and engines such as the M274, M276, M177, and the GLC X253 250d with the OM651 engine. Always double-check your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code to ensure the correct fitment before placing your order.
Faulty or damaged gearbox sumps can lead to several issues, such as fluid leaks, contamination of transmission fluid, or poor sealing, all of which may compromise the transmission's functionality. Symptoms may include visible fluid leaks under the gearbox, delayed or rough gear changes, unusual noises from the transmission, or warning lights on the dashboard.
Replacing the gearbox sump is recommended whenever there are signs of leaks, damage to the pan or gasket, or during major transmission servicing. Timely replacement helps prevent costly transmission damage and ensures the longevity of your vehicle's drive train.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of worn brake pads or brake components?
Common signs may include squealing or grinding noises when braking, reduced stopping ability, a soft brake pedal, vibration under braking, or the brake warning light on your dashboard. Because brakes are safety-critical, diagnosis and inspection by a qualified mechanic is recommended before replacement.
Can I replace only one side of the brakes?
Brake pads and discs are normally replaced as an axle set (both sides at the same time) to maintain balanced, even braking. Replacing only one side can cause the vehicle to pull when braking. Consult a qualified mechanic for guidance.
