Eurocharged TCU Tune
Has anybody with an SL55 or E55 had this done? If so what difference did it make? Have had the ECU remapped and SC pulley changed along with LSD, exhaust mods and additional heat exchanger and wanted to know if the TCU tune would improve the gear changes at all. It is a 2004 SL55.

I can't say I notice a ton of difference, but most people think it helps.https://mbworld.org/forums/1594315-post1.html

Reset again
I haven't reset my ECU since I got my 65, and after a very slow journey
of 2 hours there and 2 hours back driving very slowly because a van with
my wheels was following me, led to my car not wanting to kick down even
with brutal kicks. Reset the ecu this morning, and wow everything now
works fantastic. How long since you reset yours....

Have recently had an ECU remap so doubt this is necessary. If you do it will it set the ECU back to original or back to when it was remapped? Assume this doesnt affect the TCU.

Kleemann did mine ,I was having a 1 to 2 shift problem which this fixed,just be advised that on our cars the E more then the SL has a program or whatever you want to call it that slightly rolls off the throttle as the car shifts,I see this in my data logging TPS goes from 99% to 85% back to 99% as car shifts gears,hence the slushy shifts lol,prob done to protect the trans

Other times, I don't notice much difference. It could be I don't always perform the reset properly.

It really works when you haven't put your foot down for a while.
With a van following me I was down in the 30's for some time, when I got
home went for a Chinese takeaway and I thought there was something
wrong with the gearbox, it only kick down once on the way home, now
it's like conducting an orchestra with your foot.
