* I got shifter + TCU/EGS52 from "W208 Clk55",
* cluster from "2000 C43",
* You can go with "W208 Clk55/W210 E55", but that will need to cut the area of trunk/wheel arch, let it fit properly,,
but i went the diff. from "1995 ASD/LSD W140 S350 TD", to avoid that cut..

Does it all work straight up with everything else?

When you change the shifter, to tiptronic one, will need to change the cluster, cause the gear position will indicate in the cluster,
that will be need it with newer tiptronic shifter..!
need to change everything stated above, to let 2.82 rear end works perfectly..!!

It's not the matter of shift point..!,
EGS52 is the only option that can use 2.82 in C43, cause EGS52 can be programmed & coded to any Ratio desired,
wiring are the same in all 722.6 EGS51/52,,
nothing to do with traction, it's all the same in C43..

I know mine absolutely loves cold weather. When it's around 45F out and dry mine feels like a monster. Every MB I've ever owned felt a bit tired on hot days.

but EGS51 can't be programmable & got a differ married with a VIN# code,
while EGS52 can be programmable & has the signal for authorization with shifter ECM module,
and can be coded to a differ Ratios & differ map..!!
you can't put EGS52, unless if you change "Shifter/Cluster/TCU/Diff",,
other than that, can't be done..?!?!?

EGS51 & 52 have the same shift points & oil pressure on solenoids,,

EGS52 can be coded via SDS for gearbox ID#, or for fire-up authorization by VIN,,
but for Ratio changing, you will need a good tuner to do it properly..

I don't know why you'd want a higher stall converter on a w202 55, they have so much torque down low to use, you'd be passing it all up just to make more noise and heat. That motor pulls from the bowels, super grunty.

Thats exactly why i think 3,000 stall is too high, but at the same time, 1,500 or what ever stock stall is feels a bit too low.

to the OP: if your really that concerned- take the car to the drag strip, where you can weigh your car and get split times:
60'
120'
1/8th mile trap speed
etc
thats what you need to determine if or where the car is slow at all. as was already mentioned the heat/humidity/weather can easily affect a 0-60 time by a few tenths.

this is correct, you only want higher stall if the car doenst make TQ in the low end. ive had my C43 at the drag strip for about 25 runs and launching at anything above 1100k rpm just makes it slower or spins the tires more - again making it slower.
