I have ben through X clutch and McLeod RST then Mantic 9000 - so I think I know what the hell I am talking about. If your changing out the clutch upgrades need to be done elsewhere too. MMR pulse Ring, Boobma trans. mount DDS drive line. BMR Driveshaft guard, MGW spec @ short shifter, Steeda clutch spring, G-force half shifts, FHP differential, Steeda diff. brace, BMR stop the hop & k-brace kit, engine mounts. Just to name some. Upgrade the pulse ring get rid of OME ! engine and trans OME are gonna crap out real soon. McLeod RST 2017-2019 sucks go with the MANTIC 9000 smooth as butter and ROCK solid hook up to high performance aftermarket upgrades. Invest in Autosport roll cage to sniffing up the chassis- I have BMR rear strut brace and FHP front trust brace hooked up with Pedders coil over w external canisters. Backroad corners are a dream ! I understand a dad is helping out his son- I am luckily enough to have a job that pays well bc I busted my butt in college., plus in my late 60's- so I been around V8 and fast cars all my life. It is nice to see a Dad help up a son any DAY peace !

The V6 transmission did not support the power from the 4.8 L. There is a video showing the destruction of all the gears when I decided to do a pedal to the metal takeoff so I had to upgrade the gears to V8 gears now the transmission could handle the power, but if you find a T5, that’s V8 it will hold the power

How did you integrate the AC request circuit from the Merc to the GM compressor? Is it a +12 signal from the dashboard harness? Are you running either a hi and low pressure switch or perhaps a single trinary switch? What do you use to cycle the electric fans for when you request AC? I ask because I'm putting an LS in my 1992 Merc 500SL. I also am helping a friend put a Chevy engine in a 1981 Ford which also uses vacuum operated HVAC doors for vents and a very basic AC request line.
@Caprice19775 ай бұрын
Hi, thank you for checking out my videos my FiTech Ecu turns on the fans when the AC clutch is engaged. I am running the pressure switch and the power to the compressor direct with a separate switch but the fitech ECU has a separate positive wire for the compressor to read the positive signal when it receives 12 V from the compressor it automatically turns on the radiator fan

This is a really good DIY video. Ive done this before and Im getting ready to do it again so I needed a refresher video and this was a good one....I do have one tip though. The top bolts are easier to get to if you loosen the trans mount and lower it a little. I remember this from the first time I did it, it was so much easier doing it that way. great video though....one last thing. With the money you save doing it yourself, spend the 150.00 and buy a trans jack, especially if you're doing it by yourself.

The T5 transmission that I’m using now with the new gear Swap is working beautifully. I kinda missed having a manual car that’s why I did this to the Mercedes plus the transmission that was in this car had over 250,000 miles so it was going to be time for a rebuild and I would’ve cost more money, but I already got my hands on another T56 that I’m gonna be swapping into the Mercedes soon .
