Manual Swapped C63


Thought this community would appreciate this. He has a second video as well where the kinks are ironed out. Uses almost all OEM parts. I'm usually an S-Class guy but this has me thinking...

I was following this project, but i'm actually curious to see how that transmission holds up to the torque output of that engine and how that transmission feels driving in real life.

He was citing his experience with his manual swapped C55 making around 360-370 WHP using the same components and he said that it has held up quite well. We shall say, but a manual swapped C63 seems like a proper car.

I'm considering calling MSS about a manual swap after I get the top end rebuilt. I'm not sure what they'd have for the 800chp I'm hopefully about to push. I'm thinking Tremec but I'm not sure about it coming close to fitting.

This is tempting. I was going to rebuild my 722.9 after this track season. Maybe I'll just go manual.
