Performance Clutch Options?
Hello All,
Mostly post in the c32/55 forum but am looking for expertise related to manual w203’s
I am currently doing a 6 speed swap on my c55 using Mercedes 716.667 transmission out of c320/crossfire/slk320
I have searched for performance clutch options but haven’t found much besides UK based companies who either won’t sell stateside or are more than I can swing for the project budget. I currently have a clutch out of a 2006 c350 that I will use if I don’t find anything else, but figured someone out there may know of other options that I haven’t been unable to find.
You can see the breakdown of the build progress thus far on my YouTube channel if interested and I will post a full parts DIY once completed. Appreciate any knowledge shared!
thx,
ANDERZÉN

Thank you both for your inputs! I have since found that SPEC makes stage 1-5 clutches but only for slk/c/230/320 which don't use the same dowel pin pattern that my w204 flywheel uses, so I will use what I have and eventually in all likelihood upgrade to the rennsport factory dmf to smf conversion kit with hd clutch.
@AMG_Power I would love to haha but don't think that would fit the budget for this build and I have acquired parts already... Plus I love cars too much i would probably end up keeping it as is haha rare.
@BF_JC230 Thank you, I am currently working with Dzmitry (the video he posted on the C55 ecu coding was us working on my car), he has been monumental to this build and overall to fellow enthusiasts!
