I stumbled onto your videos too late! I'm about done w/ my C43 w/ the 55 motor swap to the 716 6-Speed. Your videos confirmed much of what I determined about the shifter, prop shaft, and electronics contrary to what others claim will work (don't believe everything you read on the internet - might work on 210s, 208s, 209s, or 203s - but not 202s). I am NOT using the SLK front propshaft - I wanted the larger flange/guido at the front so switched the flange from the 722 to the 716 and lengthening the C43 driveshaft. MB must have made those larger for a reason. Its also very simple to adapt the 716 transmission shift rod via 1 part such that all the shifting is done via a single rod (that pushes/pulls and rotates) and ditch the SLK cable + rod setup. There are better options for the shifter with this mod. I ended up going with an aftermarket shifter predominantly mounted topside (under the center console) instead of underneath in the tunnel. This allows for a more factory placement vs. space issues in the very tight trans tunnel. It's also a much smaller hole to cut in the tunnel. I need to work on the cosmetics of the aftermarket shifter to make it look OEM but that won't be too hard to solve. I've also figured out how to wire the clutch pedal into the starter interrupt, the cruise control cancel, and the reverse lights.

I had a little trouble hearing, did you say 1250kgs?

[@raw-amg4396]

Yes 1250KG

[@dearlove88]

@@raw-amg4396 I’m honestly surprised, I thought it would be a lot less than that, maybe you’re cage is particularly heavy? My full street trim c36 with manual conversion is just under 1500kgs and I know the seats are meant to be something crazy like 30-40kgs each

Do you have a video on the process you did to make the carbon fiber roof?
