Hey Guys, would like to share some info with you... I was thinking lately about the Tcu Tune for my CLK 55 04, but i was more interested in changing gears with the paddle on The C,S,M mode just like the 05-06 , and same like C55 05-06 + hold gears on the M mode... So wanted to do something special...
1- The CLK55 03-04 only change gears with the paddle on the M mode while The CLK55 05-06 change gears with the paddle on the C,S,M mode.
2- The CLK55 03-04-05-06 doesnt hold gears on the M mode like C55.
3- I found a C55 06 Tcu , it took 5 min to put it in my car (Plug&Play) and now my car change gears on the C,S,M mode with the paddles + 1 thing which the CLK55 05-06 doesnt have it,my car now Hold Gears on the M mode.
4- So changing Gears on the 3 Modes with the paddles + Holding Gears was my 2 targets, So the question now, since i got to my target, i go for a tune for my new TCU or leave it stock??

Improvements Include of most tuning companies :
- Modification of Torque Management Settings
- Reduced Slippage
- Faster Shifting
- Raised RPM Limiter
- Gears hold when in manual mod
- Raised Torque Limiters

Is it worth or no ? Need some advices

 

Wow out of the box thinking. Cool. Perhaps ask Cory at kleemann. Gl

 

Kleemann tells me a TCU tune on the AMG module is a waste of money.

 

Some say this and some say the opposit...so dunno what to do

Thanks Brotha...I have Eurocharged ECU tune and as well i have good communication with jerry so if i want to do it i will make with him,but still confused...

 

I heard good things about the EC TCU Tune. I plan on doing it.

 

Something to consider down the road...

 

I changed rear ratio from 307 to 327 , speedriven did the tcm ,,also had
JS Benz do a tcm for another change gear . raised rpm, holding in gear, and solid shifts. ,these work the best for me.

your question ,,,So changing Gears on the 3 Modes with the paddles + Holding Gears was my 2 targets, So the question now, since i got to my target, i go for a tune for my new TCU or leave it stock??

My answer.,,,you have done what most of the tune would do, holding in gear, raised the rpm limit, sharper shifts, yet smooth. unless you are going to change your ratio, I think you have fount the best way to get a tcu tune. thanks for the info. jim

 

Do you change the Ratio in E55K or CLK55.....??

ZAYED,,

 

of the TCU you tossed in?
sounds like a good option to me

 

Yea you should

 

Yea i did too, i have EC ECU tune and working very well with me,but still thinking about the TCU Tune....

 

Yea its something new and too many got surprised when they knew it worked...

 

I Was thinking just the same of your answer,i did an original exchange without opening my old TCU or anything, i just plugged in the C55 Tcu in my CLK 55 04 and it was plug and play in less than 5 MIN and i got the job done for what i was looking for !! Im not gonna change ratio, one more thing, i have already swaped the C55 06 differential on my CLK 55 04 (Which has the normal differential,no cooling ) vs the 05-06 cooling differential...
This is what i mean : https://mbworld.org/forums/clk55-amg...id-before.html

 

I think he meant E55K

 

He said; he changed the Ratio from "3.07 to 3.27",,

the "E55K & CLK55" doen’t comes with any of those Ratios,, that’s why i aked that ques.,,

interesting.....

Bro, "034 545 16 32", that’s part # can be used in C/SLK55 either....

ZAYED,,

 

I Already corrected the part # bro , i wrote by mistake the ESP part #

 

No problem,, just for info.....

ZAYED,,

 

CLK55 3.06:1
E55K 2.65:1

Thats what i know about this two cars Ratios

 

EXACTLY......

ZAYED,,

 

C55 & CLK55 sharing the same Ratio, which is "3.06", they never ever got "3.07".....!!

cause "3.07" uses a smaller pumpkin than "3.06".....

ZAYED,,

 

My old 04 diff was 3.07 i think but when i changed it to the c55 05 diff that has cooling fins , i directly noticed its written on it 3.06, correct me if im wrong

 

It couldn't be bro,, the only "W209" model which has "3.07" is CLK280,,

CLK55 comes with "3.06" only, i'm positively sure about that....

ZAYED,,

 

I was thinking about a TCU tune rather than an ECU.
My view is that a few extra horses on a 4500+lb. ride are not going to make a huge difference but having little bennies like hill holding in all modes will enhance my daily driving experience. To have the 7 speed.....

As soon as I put the replacement in I will share my results.

Just exactly where does this sucker reside? Did not see it in my WIS disc...
