I have the opportunity to get another C63 204 Coupe that has been flood damaged (statuary write off). I think it would be a fun drift or circuit car with a manual 'box.
Has anybody done a Tremac TR6060 conversion? I am thinking maybe even a C6 transaxle (because I have access to one).
It appears that it would not be too hard to design the clutch & bell-housing conversion... adaptor plate & flywheel, probably using an LS9 dual-plate clutch... but maybe it has already been done.
Anybody seen or heard of one?
Links?
(I know of the BMW 'box kit - not an option for me).
Is that the Dodge bell housing?
I need to stick with the GM LS variants - the Dodge stuff is too hard to get (& expensive) here in Aussie... & I like the LS9 dual-plate clutch.
Great to see the option. Thanks.
I believe manual sequential has been done before , not sure about a true 3 pedal system though
a sequential box like the (IIRC) holinger box in @dkjenis (on instagram) is a true 3 pedal manual but I have not seen an H-pattern manual in a W204 C63.

Ah i was thinking of another in a clk done a while ago. I'm not sure how those boxes work, is the clutch pedal only needed to get into 1st/reverse? So when youre spinning fast enough you can just rip it up and down?

the clutch is used to get started. You can also use the clutch between shifts. Rather than synchros, they use dog rings to engage each gear. To shift, there just needs to be a momentary interruption in torque (either lift the throttle or program the ECU to cut ignition or fuel when a strain gauge on the shifter or the sensor on a paddle detects the shift is commanded). It’s better if you youtube it. Once you see how dog rings work, it will make sense. Most sequential boxes have straight cut gears for strength too which is why they often have loud whine.

It is, Its a hellcat transmission. We are using McLeod Clutch and flywheel.
So, a supercharged C63 with a manual box could soon be a reality?
Yep... In my case a Magnuson blower & a TR6060 from a Holden (same 'box as the Camaro).
Also doing an M156 & C6 Corvette transaxle into an older Aston Martin (custom chassis, Lambo suspension).

but I have not seen an H-pattern manual in a W204 C63.
