2008 CLK63 Black Series
MCT Tranny in a CLK63 AMG Black Series
Don't know if this is the right forum?
Anyway, I am the proud owner of a pristine CLK 63 AMG Black Series. Car is nearly perfect. Only fault is the transmission. Well, actually, the transmission is fine - do the job. The issue is more in the time it takes to shift and especially downshift. Time can be measured in geological periods rather in milliseconds. As I have driven a SL63 with the same M156 engine and the MCT Speedshift tranny, I wonder if anyone has done a conversions from the converter based transmission to the MCT box? That transmission is just the trick that would make an already great car outstanding ! As there seem to be a few models from the same years with the combination of the M156 engine and the MCT, it should be possible in terms of engine and transmission controls???
Best, Chris.
