RennTech Transmission Upgrade?
What does this consist of? Is this done through the ECU or is there a seperate "chip" for the tranny? Do mechanical components of the tranny need to be removed and shipped to RennTech? What are the steps for getting this done and is it required for a RennTech tuned CL65? Last but not least, price?

Thank you.

I did the Renntech upgrade on my TT CL600. The TCU upgrade in my opinion is just as important as the ECU upgrade. The car shifts so much smoother. I used Adam from EuroElites.

Go to: www.renntechmercedes.com for all the info you'll need.

Thank you.
The transmission upgrade is the mechanical upgrade of the clutch packs. You will need to send the tranny to Lake Park, Renntech HQ for this upgrade.

Hey Jude,

The transmission upgrade is $1495, with 6 hours of labor, $600. Lou's car can handle up to 900-1000 lbs of torque (crank).

I will try to obtain it tomorrow from Renntech Hq. They might not want to disclose any information as yet.
