Have you all seen this? Don't we have a 722.9 tranny?
Couldn't this work on our SLK55's?

I was going to chime in this thread, but I can't post in there for some reason.

you cannot chime in in that section because it is closed as Dan is no longer around

and that sounds like an ecu tune (like I and others have from Kleemann and other places)

Sergeant, you're telling me the ECU tune from Kleemann will provide throttle blips aka rev-matching for us pre-facelift SLK55 R171's trannies?

That's crazy talk! All I know is I go fast and leave burn marks and not in my shorts!

Back the truck up - who's going to mail them and ask if will suit the 55?!

Yea I dunno if Jeff took me seriously or not, but I don't see WHY rev-matching kit wouldn't work on our SLK55's?
We have the same transmission and all. I will email them to see if they will work on our R171 55's

All because he left foot brakes to leave loooong skid marks!>

I spoke with weistech, they said it's not compatible with the software in our transmissions despite the transmission being the same.

My next question is could we swap a tcu from a clk into our slk55's?

 

[jbanks15]

I highly doubt it.
Take Mr Wizard's advice
Be just what you is, not what you is not.
Folk's that do this, are the happier lot.

get an ecu tune and headers and do 200 mph (or 180 like me so far )
