I have a couple suggestions about the plates (when I had a shop, I machined > 75 different plates for different makes for a customer): You have a good start with the 2 hold-down bolts in the center. I also recommend that you drill hold-down holes for the drops in a pre-cycle, then bolt down the drops. Then machine the dowel pins and outside profiles. Bolt the plate down by several of the holes, then do the inside profiling. This constrains all of the pieces and prevents wasting carbide endmills when the drops kick out. You can just put optional stops for each of the pauses. I suggest machining the dowel pin patterns into the sub-plate so you can flip the plate over on the dowels and have it exactly centered for the 2nd op. You can follow this pattern for both pieces. I would suggest a live tooled lathe as your next machinery purchase :-). When I did the hubs, I did all turning on a lathe (did both manual and later CNC), then 2nd op the holes and tapping on a Mill. I think it will be tough to maintain very tight tolerances doing the hub machining in the mill on a cheap 3 jaw chuck. Obviously the 1st op doesn't matter, but accurately chucking the 2nd op can be challenging. You might consider machining a fixture to accurately locate and support the 2nd op of the hub, then you'll know center and the face will be perpendicular to the spindle.

I have some manufacturing advise for you. You transport the whole power over the bolts that hold small adapters inside the transmission. If you make more edges on adapters themselves, that they fit in each other, those adapters would transport the power also and make the life of bolts easyer.

I myself have been looking into this for a M-119 motor for my coupe! ...but ended up converting the NAG1/722.6 to a paddle shit setup using an arduino! Hell...I'd even consider swapping in a M-113K just to be able to have a CD-009 backing it, since I would think you probably would not be willing to make one for the M-119!!! I guess I need to get intouch with you guys to see if you are willing to make one for me!!! ...that would be awesome! Hell why not make one for the M-120 motor, just imagine a 6 speed manual for the v12! I would love to do one myself, it will be smooth and powerful! wow what a combination! Keep up the great work, you made a lifetime subscriber out of me, now if i can only become a customer too! On a side note, I can count at least half a dozen customers that have asked me for just such a conversion in my shop! If only everything existed so I could just say yes and start ordering swap kits! I wonder how hard it will be to make different transmission side and flywheel couplers for say a Tremec 6 speed and a ZF transmission! ...just food for thought guys!!! ...and I guess gal!!! As for the female CNC'ist...brains and looks, now she is a winner in my book!

I'm glad to see you doing this swap. I tried manual swapping a C32 4 years ago and got stuck at the ECU. I got as far as getting the engine to start and run without the transmission or shifter modules. Unfortunately the engine's power was severely reduced. None of the US based tuners were willing to help me with the swap either. I wish you better luck! Mercedes has a flex-plate part number change at engine #60 046180. I ran into this on an M112 and I think it changed in 2004. Not sure if the 113k's were later though.
