picking up next monday...

 

just picked them up today...
expected to install this weekend...

 

 

ok, mine's scheduled to get them installed this saturday...
FYI - parts (gaskets, fluids, etc) & labor will be more than the cost of the valves...

 

just got the new solenoids installed today by HYEVON...
found out that my stock one was also blue top...
there is no difference appearance wise except for different part number...
shifting is same as before...
now, my question is, then y is the shift delay freakin' slow even before this mod?
fyi, mine's 04 model...

 

faster shifting quest will continue...
at least i got new tranny fluid which was about time anyways... thx to serge @ HYEVON!

more pics...

 

last set of pics...



left is old one, right is new one

 

Great "Smurf Nipples" modding sux sometimes, kudos for being test-mule!

 

props to you my man

 

anyone with 03 E55 in socal who needs to do tranny fluid change, let me know... can buy my set and give it a shot... (only if u have brown top solenoid, of course)...

 

i wish someone know if the C32 had brown tops or blue tops

 

ok guys I am a little confuzed.. would the part # 240 270 00 89 fit the c32 or thats just for the c55/e55 trannys?
If they would fit Can I buy the set from MJ50 and just add them to my body?
Thanks

 

c55 had brown top so c32 must have brown top...
but i was wrong once...

 

Hooley is convinced mine has brown top too. if someone can prove that it is brown top to me then i might snag your extra blue tops if they arent sold by then. looks like the c32 crowd may be getting interested in it. hmm....

 

I am wondering would the blue tops from MJ50 fit my C32? are they the same tranny?

 

Hooley, could you please post some videos if possible! Wanna see your RPM ,while shifting in full throttle!!

 

Is there any gain with a somewhat stock c55?
I know hooleyboy has tcu upgrades.

 

Its not wise to punch the throttle in my car with one hand on the wheel and the other on the camera. I will see what I can do.

Yes I am running a TCU tune. It was unnoticeable without the valves. As soon as I put the valves in it just worked out and the far now has zero delay from great to gear.

 

Turk, you got Brown tops. If My 05 C55 has brown tops then an older C32 has to have them. I might advise to put some of the old trans fluid back in when doing the change.

I have no proof of this, but i would bet my trans temps are cooler from less friction and no slipping.

 

Hi guys, this thread is a breakthrough for me!

@ hooleyboy:

Does this improved shifting experience u are talking about, refer also when in the M mode and shifting via the paddles?

Does this valve exchange solve the "having mind of its own when up shifting" issue? (M mode)

Does it somehow shorten the delay between pressing the paddle and the actual gear change?

It would be great I you could shoot a demonstration video of some cruising and full throttle shifting.

Thanx very much,

cheers

You could always let your GF hold the cam with one hand, and the other hand will also help specially when you are in full throttle!

 

My C55 is MY 2006 and has the blue tops already.

 

How can I know if my car had a blue top or not? My car is c55 2006. Is there an effective date for this?

 

u gotta find out the hard way....

 

Mercedes parts cat said that transmissions with number above 04 247135 have Blu Tops as stock
