Is this applicable to the 507? This is in response to the C63 going into limp mode?

Yes, this is in response to the cars overheating.
I have not seen anything, but I suspect this is just the Black Series kit adapted for the regular C63 bumper.

I take it this deals with transmission cooling?
If so, why does the transmission overheat? Normally the heat in a transmission is cause by the torque converter from the differential speed between the impeller and turbine when the clutch is not locked. Once the clutch is locked very little heat is generated.
Given that this transmission does not have a torque converter where is all the heat coming from to cause such a problem?

On my car driving normally the engine oil temp is right where it should be close to 200*F. Does it get really hot if you are hammering on the car at a track session??
So, what is the word on the transmission. I have seen several references that the transmission is prone to overheating.

Yeah, not spending $1000 on labor. I'll take the parts and do it myself or have my indy shop do it for less. It can't be that hard. They figured 3 hrs to change the grille on my bumper so 8 hrs is probably more like 2-3 hrs. It's oil coolers and plastic body panels, not pulling a motor and trans out.

Latest from AMG Private Lounge (today):
Dear AMG Private Lounge members,
Results of the further development from amongst others, the „F1 AMG Medical Cars”, have led to the development of an enhanced cooling system for the C 63 AMG.
In order to allow an even better cooling, high-performance coolers are applied in combination with an optimized air path which allows a reduction of the engine oil temperature while driving. Therefore, these measures can also serve the purpose of an optimized cooling of the engine while operating in the outer limit.
If you are interested and you want have further details (assembly, ordering, availability and price), please contact directly an AMG Performance Center in your area. Then, the local colleagues will contact our AMG After Sales Team in Affalterbach.
Best regards from Affalterbach,
Your AMG Private Lounge Team
But in response to a question last night on the AMG Chat Session, MB answered:
There is a modification available in Europe. MBUSA Engineering Services here in the US is looking at it. Stay tuned.
Stay tuned.
So I guess the real answer is not yet.
