W222 S65 AMG tranny into W221
I have 2008 S65 with 80k miles on it. I am loving every bit of the car and I want to keep it for at least 2 years more.
The only thing bothers me with the car is the transmission. It's slow and outdated as everyone knows. So I would like to know if it's possible to replace it with the new generation transmission from the W222 S65.
Since the engines are almost identical, my guess is it's doable, but sure it won't be that easy.
Any thoughts?

Theoretically it should be very possible, and Weistec builds a version of the 7 speed MCT that is pretty much bulletproof, so I could see it being mechanically possible. The electronics would be the only thing, but I'm sure it's doable.
