Built Transmission
Hey guys.....I'm posting in the W211 becasue everyone knows the W220 section is slow. I have a question......Does anyone know where I can get me transmission rebuilt to hold the power I have.....also looking at doing either the Weistec blower kit, or the Speedriven kit when that becomes available. Just looking to get ideas from all of you before I move forward with this project.
Does anyone have numbers from the what Weistec kit puts down on our engines? Seems that they have done a lot of testing with the 63's and not a whole lot with our platform. Thanks in advance.

I read that about Speedriven, but I didn't think it was for the 722.6 trans. I will have to look in to that.
Shardul, who is this Southern Hotrod Transmission?? Have they done built transmissions for AMG's?

I've run a southern hot rod Trans for years. I also installed a paramount performance Trans for a friend and was good too. Is your current transmission bad? I have also tested IPT valve body and torque converter

I think so, my car goes into limp mode whenever I go over half throttle. No noise or grinding, just feels like the throttle won't go over half. It just recently started doing this. If you go WOT it will go full throttle for like 2-3 sec, then it will chop the throttle to less than half.

A china/eBay one about $500. Might last a year before it craps out. A good German one about $2500+. A real mb one, $27,000! You can also go the snap-on way and that would be $1000+ for a nice used one. The mb style ones work best though.
I agree with running codes though. Why buy a trans if it's only a $100 conductor plate
Btw I've been running a builder bill/paramount trans for 4 years and it holds up to my abuse but it down shifts like sh** when coming to a stop. I may put in brown top soloniods to soften the down shifts.
