Weistec stg3 with stock transmission

How much can the stock transmission hold with stage 3 Weistec sc?
there is a kit here thinking of buying but to send the transmission from my country to Weistec is the hardest part.

What year is your car? There are two different transmissions that have been used. I personally dont know the exact limits but the transmission used in 08-11 (with the torque converter) is slower but can take a little more abuse than the MCT used in the 12+

No the MCT tranny can take more abuse then the 7g

7g tips out at 700nm mct can take around 800-850

stage 2 is plenty enough for stage 2 and is already pushing stage 3 will tip it over the edge

Just ask merc63 he will tell you

Sorry i didn't mention before, my car has the 7g 722.9, is it necessary to do both valve body/tcu and clutch packs?

You will need a built auto

You can buy the rebuild kit from weistec or send your auto there to be built

You'll need the transmission. It won't hold the power longer than a week or so.

+1. get the kit from weistec and have a local trusted/experienced transmission shop do the build.

I looked at option cards for C63, pre facelift, that was my bracket and compared options.
My opinion is that the "reinforced transmission" was not common to all C63, again, pre MCT.
It's possible that if you have the reinforced transmission in your card, the 7G may be better suited.

I had it done as well, shifts are a little faster and more firmer. The increased line pressure is supposed to handle a little higher torque (like from a stage 2) but a full build i think is still inevitable. From my knowledge, its not just a TCU tune itself, they tune the ecu to accommodate the upgraded valve body.

I heard rumors that they are working on a v2 tcu/vb upgrade thats why they pulled it off for now.

I have a weistic v2 bulletproof trans build. They actually modify the valve bodies for increased line pressure. It does shift faster and firmer than stock.

Back in the day dads c63 ran into a few trans issues and if i remember correctly. He said the 7g has a updated clutch packs for 2010-11. And he did run 10.3s on stock trans but only in M . In S it would slip every other time unless u did ecu reset then it would be ok for another run. That was on 700rw c63.

Pretty much this is my experience too. It shifts a little bit faster and more firmer. Is it a huge difference? I don't think so, but, I'm happy to welcome any faster upshift and downshift I can get on this 722.9.

I actually heard that they pulled it off because it wasn't selling that well, not ot mention, people were sending their VB/TCU in not packaged properly, which would cause them to be damaged and a huge hassle all around.

Pretty much the same as the guy before.

Shifts a bit faster and firmer. I want to say my downshifts are more aggressive too. Haven't had too much seat time, but that's what I feel so far.

Still have to remember that the car still does have a TQ Converter. Can only polish a turd so much, lol.
