Cant find any information about TCU location. Any one here remove TCU unit on our C63 car before? Try to search but have no luck. Want to sent TCU out to Eurocharged for TCU tune. Thank you.

If they know how to tune the TCU they should know where its located ask them.
If not go on weistec's website and look under products for m156.

I believe the tcu unit is inside the transmission. You have to remove the transmission oil pan to get to it.

I'm pretty certain they won't be expecting oil soaked box of parts.

All kinds of guys have tuned TCU's from Weistec.


Id check out Weistec for your TCU upgrade. You have to drop the tranny pan to get at it.

You're wasting your money unless you have headers and tune AT LEAST.

722.9 Valve Body and TCU Upgrade

Weistec Engineering is proud to present the first and only valve body upgrade for 722.9 7 speed transmission used in many AMG and non-AMG models (See Compatibility List Below). When we receive your valve body, it is modified using our proprietary techniques to increase line pressure and improve shifting characteristics. Next we make changes to the TCU electronics to compliment the physical modifications.

Thanks for clearing that up for us mr campbell.

Hopefully OP doesn't want to change his shift points.

you can typically adjust the trans settings through the ecu. I tune gm cars and trucks and just plug into the obdII port and access both maps, engine and transmission.

With all due respect his is not a GM truck and you will find the electronics on the merc just a little bit more involved.

The electronics, sure. Like the complicated inner workings of the say....door? Lol. Engine management is engine management my good man. If it is "more involved" it is unnecessarily so.

Please don't forget, I also own a C63 so I guess I also reserve the right to be snooty about my purchase with no real knowledge of, how do you say it, what I'm talking about...? However, I am not snooty about my Merc, it is a fine car, but a car nevertheless.

Never said you don't know what you are talking about.

I agree a car is a car and my point was and continues to be that you can not 'program' the TCU to do what you want (at the moment that is) in America. If it were that easy, I would have throttle blipping and I would have different shift points.

No disagreement here. Just saying what can't be done today doesnt mean it isn't possible tomorrow. I am sure the best scientists of the day are looking into the matter.

Any feedback from those who have had their TCU/Valvebody modified by Weistec? Are the shifts that much quicker? I have Longtubes with tune and was trying to decide between this mod or a LSD.
