[R129 SL] automatic gearbox update

[Oldbenz1 at aol.com]

Thank you Jan for another very informative response.  Fluid level in  the 
gearbox checks OK, and it is clean.  I bought this car last year with  53,000 
miles.  Service records indicate that the filter and fluid was  changed in 
September of '04 at 39,235 miles and again in October of '05 at  44,102 miles so it 
appears that maintenance has been performed better than  recommended.    
Presently the mileage is a bit more than  56,000. There has never been any problem 
with the gearbox- no leaks, no  slippage, etc.  Shifting is firm and positive. 
 Do you think it would  be beneficial to once again change the filter and 
fluid?  What about the  rear axle? ( I don't know if my car is equipped with ASD 
or ADS).   There are no leaks at the rear axle, but could low fluid level in 
the axle cause  the ASR light to come on?
