Plasma cutters can have problems cutting Aluminium so do some research or go with waterjet. 10:45 You are mounting the cylinder facing toward the driver. The preferred way would be away so it doesn't take away floor space. You could have done it by opening a hole on the floor and then incasing it with sheet metal.

With that being said would you still have to keep the flex plate like you had to in a previous video or do you think since it's technically mb parts you could replace them directly and ditch the flex plate?

The trans might not hold up long term, but it bolts up perfectly and you can use the crossfire/SLK master cylinder, slave, pedal, all of it. I’ve built many manual M113’s with that trans mine being the oldest worldwide at 8 years and I haven’t had any problems.

As someone who might be interested in doing this swap, I would personally need to see a little more elegant interior integration in order to pull the trigger on it. Hoping that the info people added here in the comments could possibly be used to integrate factory Benz pedals in the future. My 722.6 is starting to fail on me, slipping in second gear in particular, and I am considering my options for repair/replacement. The high cost of rebuilding a 722.6 is a bit mind blowing. One thing that I personally always thought would be a perfect fit with the E55 would be to swap a ZF 8HP90 into it. It would avoid the issues with pedal integration, etc, and offer an effective modernization of the transmission. From what I can see, you would need to make an adapter plate, adapt the drive shaft, change the gear shift lever to one that works with the ZF (it's electronically controlled rather than a lever) and a transmission controller. Probably some other coding that would need to be done as well to fully integrate it with the car. Sure, a manual would be more fun, but I personally have an issue with my left foot from a motorcycle accident that makes it painful to drive a manual car with a stiff clutch, and it seems likely nearly any clutch option that can handle the power involved would be a bit stiff. That bottom hinged pedal would also be a problem for me. The ZF seems like the next best thing. Anyone who has driven a car with one knows they are nearly indistinguishable from a DSG or similar.

@@thelongranger55 Yes, obviously it's not all profit. But that quote is for rebuilding my existing transmission, not providing a new one. The parts involved might total around $300-400 tops, including a rear main seal which I would insist they replaced as mine has a slight leak and it's a 5 minute job with the transmission removed. The rest is purely labor charges. For reference, 3,000 Euro is over $3600 at the moment. so they are charging over $3000 for the labor alone. They are basically quoting it as roughly a 30 hour job, when I know it should take a pro more like 8 to actually complete.

There is no way the drive shaft is coming apart at the weld.

I could not find a solution in start diagnosis, even with help from some very good (and super friendly) experts. I got help from a guy that decoded the CAN databus messages from TCU and from another guy here in Germany. He programmed a small CAN sender. So my ECU gets „faked“ TCU messages to let it think that transmission is running in gear, shifter is in D and transmission is happy with torque ;-) Car is perfect now. Feel free to ask if you need help with that!

Hi, I have a c32 swap on the manual. I have a coded manual and a gear selector in the ecu. I no longer have TCU. Basically everything works cruise control etc. But the compressor still doesn't work. Please help and send me some solution mydroidian@gmail.com Thanks in advance and best regards

Why couldn't you use pedal assembly from some other Mercedes?

As an owner of an S55 amg and an e39 M5 (needed a manual sports sedan) I’d buy a kit if you made one and I’d buy an e55 to install it in. S55 for daily duties and e55 for weekend fun

Awesome work! Of course using oem clutch pedal assembly like others said was an option, but who cares! What you made instead is pretty cool! Gives me motivation to try a custom pedal setup in the C55. If only the gas pedal was better positioned... Excited to see the next steps, especially the supercharger being added back in the mix 🔥
