I don't have any experience with it, but more fluid typically means better cooling.
In addition to the cooling fins too, so I'd be inclined to say that it works. As to how much it will affect it, I'm not sure.

I was considering it. Its more-so a preventative maintenance upgrade. You may not necessarily need it, but the added advantages of it may be beneficial long term. But damn 600 bucks for a transmission pan.

I have it. Hard to tell if it has had a material impact on trans temps, as I don't have a temp sensor in there and did the VB/TCU at the same time. But it certainly doesn't hurt, especially if you're tracking the car.

I have it. It's not something you are going to notice but with 3 more quarts of oil temperature should be lower. I also have a transmission cooler to help keep lower temp. I gives you peace of mind.

I have a 2013 C63 P31 with the 44O cooling Kit as I go to the track regularly. The kit has reduced the Engine Oil Temps from 285 Degrees (Have MB S/W Upgrade) to roughly 245 degrees. Last time out at the track with 88 degrees outside temp and really going for best lap times, the transmission switched itself from M to S+, evidence that the transmission was too hot. Engine temp was higher than normal at 257 degrees also. With the larger transmission pan, has your car ever switched it self to another mode on the track. If I remember correctly, you also have the 440 Cooling Kit and track the car. Also, how much has the Valve Body and TCU mod. (Weistec) improved your shifting on the track.

Mario, what did you do for an aux trans cooler? The Weistec pan has additional AN ports for installing an aux cooler, as well as for a temp probe. Will probably do both at some point as well as cooling for the diff.
