Hi guys,

I've done some research and have come away none the wiser!

I want faster/firmer shifts from my trans. I have a 2000 year Tiptronic box from a 430 CLK. If I swap in the blue solenoids part number 240 270 00 89 will I achieve this? Or, do I have to have a TCU tune also.

I have read that these parts can be swapped in without complication and no star needed to reprogramme shift points. I have also read that on down shifting it can be quite harsh and the revs rise as if downshifting in a manual. This is not necessarily a bad thing.

Has anyone done this mod lately?

Am I missing something? Will this mod work on my trans?

 

This is a common mod and if you look hard enough you can find all of the needed info. I know you need to have the EGS52 TCU to pull it off and if you have a 2000 tiptronic box that means you should have the EGS52 as well.

 

Hey thanks.

I was actually hoping to hear from someone who's done the mod and how is it after a time of use?
