Nope, but then it was installed on the OE trans first. It's going on my Weistec built trans soon along with a Weistec 2.5k TC. Long story I won't get into now but I ordered the trans four years ago.
edit: Meaning that whole trans upgrade package was partially intended for track use. So in the next year I'll find out how everything performs together...
On a side note I have much respect for Speedriven to have produced this pan, especially at what I consider a very reasonable price. You just have to pick it up, turn it over few times and smile, it's that nice a job that they did with it.

My car is already on poly bushings throughout, plus subframe sleeves to tighten things up etc. So the car already is super stiff and has some vibration. It's basically full time track rat now, so I don't mind more vibration if the engine and trans are going to move around less when I'm really on it.
I had solid poly mounts on my last car and loved the sound. It also improved shifting which was quite noticeable in the car. I bet in a c63 with a bigger engine the noise would mental. If you get them please let is know your thoughts as id be interested in some too.

Curious why you chose this over the Weistec pan since you are doing your trans with them and their pan has increased fluid capacity, big cooling fins and is a bunch less money (isn't red though!).

Gotcha. I was assuming solid metal mounts which to me, would be un DD-able. Then again, it seems like you've set it up to be a full time track car so you might not mind.

Because the Speedriven pan predated the Weistec pan by at least a year or so IIRC. It was definitely first on the block. We initial purchasers got a very good price for helping Speedriven launch it by stepping up to the plate, so to speak. But yeah, this price is much higher now but if you think about it and look at the similarities you can probably figure out why. The updated pan definitely has desirable new features though so I may leave the original on my spare OE trans (which I'm keeping) and buy a new pan. Both have increased fluid capacity.
