After much sheching I知 going to take the manual conversion on. I will do loads of pics and videos detailing how and why.
All parts will be R170 SLK320 sourced I値l trick the ECU with resister at least that痴 what I知 thinking.
Ive found a SLK320 in a scrap yard so will get the parts soon

Looking forward to seeing it. A guy in Los Angeles did it on a CLK430. I'll be curious what the weak point in that transmission will be with 5.4 liter power pushing through it. Going to use the factory SLK flywheel and clutch or use something like the Rennsport Factory setup?

Yeah that CLK430 video is cool I値l go all SLK parts to begine with but will later go Rennsport
I know a guy on the facebook group who used resistor(s) to trick the ECU into thinking it's always in neutral so it's possible. He claims to have already done this exact swap but that it slips. IIRC he wasn't sure if the motor was just too much for the transmission or if he just had a bad transmission

🤔 Could be the clutch slipping that痴 the weak point.
maybe an upretted clutch would help
Might have to cut bigger hole for the manual selecter When I did the 5.5 swoop i put a water outlet in the right hand cylinder head for the trans cooler I値l now blank it
Clearance is good Made some new holes for R170 mounting Feels good changing gear Cutting hole for gear stick SLK320 6speed The linkage on left is from W203 the one on left is from R170 came with gearbox I知 using R170 on it sits further back
