2007 sl55 dct manual mode?

Hello.

I've search the web but can't find a anwser for my question regarding manual mode on the facelifted 2007 sl55 7g tronic dtc. What the manual shift mode like on those cars? Is it the same slow shifting like the older amg's which where more of a pre gear selector or is it closer to "true" manual mode where the shifts are more or less instant?

The 2007 SL55 AMG had the 5 speed and not the 7 speed.

SL55 never came with the 7G Tronic . not strong enough for the torque .
Only the 5 speed was available .

Now that you guys said it i think your right. I got confused by an ad stating it had the 7g and thought maybe last ones had it.

O they're right, nothing but 5 speeds on the sl 55's. Too much torque, which by the way, is a good thing.
