Ok, I am like 5 videos in... IT'S OFFICIAL, the C55 NEEDS this! I have homework to do and hope to connect with you and others along the way for all the knowledge/info/experience I will need! I will for sure document the process as well and try to be as thorough as possible once I start.
Bravo! Between the One-Take of the manual-swapped CLK430 and this E55, I'm absolutely convinced this is the way I need to go for my 282k mile 2001 E430. What details should I consider and/or do differently than you since I'd be doing this on a facelift W210?
Nice Work,we have Spezialiciat for ENGINE and Transmission swaps for Old Mercedes, i have in My Mercedes C126 560SEC the New 9G tronic from the New E class its so much Fun to drive it runs now 310KM/H and I can drive with only 7L/100Km in 9.Gear
Computer is untouched! For the w203 you might have to get it flashed to disable all the CEL from the auto transmission being missing. But I just did this same swap to my 01 CLK55 and haven;t had a issue, no tune and no shifter plugged in
Like z. oz said we really don't know till someone tries it. As an example, my bmw zf trans was only 'rated' to handle 230 ft lb of torque, yet i dynoed 440 wtq and many others have had over 700 wtq on this same transmission.
To be brutally honest, the car would have been better with a 5 or 6 speed manual. It was made in a time where Mercedes meant luxury and BMW meant driver focused. That distinction has blurred away over time.
@@jikjakz9144 yeah its too bad, nearly every manufacturer has lost their identity over the last 20-30 years. Here in germany the new e class was marketed as the "most sporty one yet" and i caught myself thinking why they think the e class is supposed to be sporty😂
You have the face of a man that's enjoying every minute of this swap. Great work
Great video man! now we need to see it vs a e39 m5!
You know it!
E39 540i 6 speed owner here. Trust me. I know the feeling 👏 . Beautiful E55!
I want to do this on my w208 clk 55 you are living my dream. Big motivation to know this can be done.
I've just picked up one of these E55's and god damn the urge to manual swap it is strong after watching this
You been slacking with the updates... we want to see more of this car man! 👀
Send it over to matt farah and the smoking tire! Awesome awesome stuff
Would be great to see a manual W209 CLK55...

For sure man! Let me know if you have any questions. Looking forward to when you start yours :D
Jikjakz Thx man, been working with Dzmitry to figure everything out, trying to find all the pieces. Bought a trans w/36k miles already 🤙🏼💯
w210 E430 can basically swapout the 4matic the same cause the chassis is identical right? Askin for a friend
hey i have a 01 e55 and i love what you've done w yours but i wanted to know what you did with the suspension?
Want to do this to my 2001 do u know everything needed for the swap

Should be exactly the same!
manual , the only way to go , freakin' awesome
is the transimition still okay?
Have you ran anyone yet that you have before to see the difference it made?
Hello! Do you know where I can buy a Sox speed swap kit for the e55? I’m super interested
thats sick. can you do one for the c63 next thanks

do you have ig page ?
wow. whats the exhaust setup?
Wish you could go on Smoking Tire with this car! I bet he'd like to drive it.
More videos with this car please
What did you do about the computer? And the cluster? I’m wanting to swap my w203 but there is like no info on it.
Computer is untouched! For the w203 you might have to get it flashed to disable all the CEL from the auto transmission being missing. But I just did this same swap to my 01 CLK55 and haven;t had a issue, no tune and no shifter plugged in
So you think the trans will hold up to the m113 supercharged?
Like z. oz said we really don't know till someone tries it. As an example, my bmw zf trans was only 'rated' to handle 230 ft lb of torque, yet i dynoed 440 wtq and many others have had over 700 wtq on this same transmission.
What modifications did you do with the exhaust? Really love how it sounds .
Hey there! It's just straight pipe with x pipe in the center and factory primary cats still.
@@jikjakz9144 i have a 2000 E55 and can i just put the Pipes on an automatic and get the same Sound.
Is it manual
How is it on gas ?
About the same, it was worse at first but it was just because I was more heavy footed after the swap. lol
Does your tachometer still work?
Yes!
what about the 0-60? how much faster are you with the manual?
Can it work on an 05 E500?
on any m112 or m113 it can
Blood motorsports has done w211 e500 turbo
I seen their page, his builds are awesome!
I have a c43 amg
Hey bro
To be brutally honest, the car would have been better with a 5 or 6 speed manual. It was made in a time where Mercedes meant luxury and BMW meant driver focused. That distinction has blurred away over time.
I agree!!! I feel like the new AMG line is just so far away from what it used to be
