G65 transmission - same as G63?

Can they handle the same level of power? Thinking about Renntech ECU upgrade...

Appears to be the same AMG Speedshift Plus 7G-Tronic including gear ratios. It should handle the additional power the ECU upgrade provides.

No clue... renntech would probably know. FYI my benz dealer sells the renntech ECU and will install it... they also said it will not void my warranty and I'm covered since they sold/installed it.

Where the hell is that? Can you PM me what they are charging? I would guess that they are marking it up.

When I buy Renntech stuff from my MB of Seattle dealer, they charge Renntech MSRP. I'm also able to get 10% off parts and labor with the MB Club membership and it'll apply to Renntech as well.

The 2013 G63 & G65 both come with AMG SpeedShift Plus gearboxes, which is an enhanced version of the standard 7G-Tronic Plus.
