I can't help you with your question but I'm sure glad you found a gearbox.

Cheers.

Prefer to perform/adapt the gearbox manually, then reset all the system via SDS, to make sure, all RPM shift points saved correctly to the ECU/TCU data/file..!

see PDF's,,

All (722.6) 1998-2006 "8" Cly.'s have stronger clutches (B1/K1/K2) than "4/6" Cyl.'s, to compatible with out-put HP..!

so would other gearboxes from a different engine fit onto the E55? ive actually dropped my merc off to a Mercedes specialist to have the gearbox reset only because of my problem, i put my foot down yesterday and it backed off the power again but this time the ESP light came on and i think it went into limp mode.. i hope the reset works.. im also thinking have i put a gearbox from a different engine into the car cause of the issues im having

Maybe you don't have to change your gearbox,

may have a "bad conductor plate or oil goes to your TCU or oil level NOT correct",,

have to check these first, before spending $$$$$$..!

what was the #-number on 2nd hand box you bought?
proper box for E55 AMG is 722.636, if you bought a box for a different model say a lesser E280/E320 you will break that box with the torque from your monster engine.

box from E55 - S55 - ML55 will work on your car

hey bro
ML55 had 347HP like CLK55 engine
ML55 engine can't have less torque 510NM versus C43AMG 410NM engine, this means ML55 can't have a weaker tranny than C43AMG.

w210 E55 have 530nm
CLK55/ML55 had slightly less HP/NM than E55AMG engine, this was for marketing reasons, E55 was more luxurious than the cheaper siblings.
S55AMG had 360HP and a bit more NM than E55AMG which was a lesser model than S55AMG.
the baddest a$$ was the S65AMG with 1000NM, this monster car is a different story

Sure Dennis,

but nothing to do with Engine torque, that's a differ thing, comparing to the transform out-put power to drivetrain,

Ml55 got "2" differential with (3.46:1) Ratio, with two-speed dual range for transfer case with reduction gearing>> 4-ETS simulated three differential locks,,

which means; the way of power is differ than all Saloon's family..
