1998-99 C43 TCU part#

Hey guys, need your help finding the correct part number for a 98-99 c43 TCU. I have a 98 E430 that has a 3.07 gear in it and need a C43 TCU to complete the swap. Trying to find one on ebay is met with so many different TCUs that say they work for all the 43/55 cars, but are from e430s, e55 etc. I need a true c43 TCU, and having a correct number might help narrow it down. If anyone could snap a picture of one from your car, that would be great!

pic for attention

As i know; 98-02 "W210 E430" doesn't has "3.07",

it's always comes with "2.82",

and "3.27" (as special guard Edition with code: 697-F),,

are you sure you have "3.07"..?, if so, then why you need to go with "C43" TCU..?!?

Hey guys he has swapped his dff. To the 3.07 gear ratio. So he just needs the 98-99 c43 tcu part number so he can track a tcu down.

Ah, i see,,

There are several #s of 98-99 "C43" TCU, with gateshifter:-

"021 545 84 32" or "021 545 86 32" or "021 545 87 32" or "026 545 75 32",

those TCU #s also used with 98-00 "W210 E55",,

should to get TCU specifically from 98-99 C43..

Thanks, Yeah already have the 3.07 diff in the car. It starts, and drives, but after a while it kicks into limp mode. Works long enough to get a decent feel for how it will be though, decent pickup in acceleration.
