SLK 320/32
AMG Transmission
Hi guys,
I am a newbie to this forum and I need you help! Here is my situation: I own a 2002 SLK 320, and decided to replace the engine/transmissio/differential with with those with a SLK32. I got a very good deal for them in a local salvage yard. All is good and the car started after we reflashed the ECU. However the transmission I bought did not come with it's TCU. It's sticking in one gear. It will shift normally until it gets stuck in one gear, and sticks there. My mechanic says that i need the AMG "code" for the tranmission control unit so that he can enter it the TCU, and it will work fine. I am not able to find such a code. He told me (and several other experts) that a code from any AMG car will do. I need that code. Can you help me out you guys?

Couldn't you just go to a MB dealer and and ask to them..?
Do you have any pics. of the swap... I've been wanting to change out my tranny for an AMG also, but so far it hasn't been cost effective.
Keep us posted

EGS code
Hi guys,
My mechanic has access to the factory scanner he said what we need is the EGS code (4 digit ex: ef0g) for any AMG transmission. Can any one retreive that for me from there TCU?
. In German its called (EGS-Codierung).

SLK 230
It's my understanding that the SLK 230 and AMG32 transmissions are the same. I know thats hard to believe but everytime I ask the question thats the responce I get.
