2012 C63 MCT Transmission durability

How stout is the new transmission?

How much power can you safely run through it?

Thanks

Dunno how much power the MCT is capable of handling but I know the 722.9's are rated to handle up to 542 ft/lbs trq.

Honestly, it is too soon to tell. This transmission hasn't been in the market for that long. We need to see how it handles the power with the extra mods. We do know that the old transmission(Speedshift plus 7 speed auto) held very well.

The MCT is just a modified 722.9 so power capacity should be as good if not better than the std 722.9.

Basicly it exchanges the torque convertor for a wet clutch setup, there is an additional clutch lining in each clutch pack and the gearset are a little longer (more tooth contact area). There is no reason why they aren't as strong or stronger that the std box as they aren't a redesign, just an upgrade.
