I just picked up a 2007 SLK55 in white w/ p30 package with 52,000 original km’s (30k miles), and I have a 6 speed swap that I am piecing together. Anderzen and DC motorwerks have been a big inspiration and source of info on parts and how to actually pull this off. I’m glad I finally locked down a car to start working on and will start a build thread as things progress. i can’t wait to get it on the road once the gravel is cleared off, the initial drive definitely made me want to speed up the timeline to get a manual in the car.
Commenting so I don’t lose this thread. Been keeping my eye out for a nice build thread on a manual swap but have yet to find one. I have an R230 SL500 that I picked up for peanuts. Car is shockingly mechanically perfect and I am holding onto it to manual swap at some point. Good luck and keep us posted!
