Also kudos for the simple electrical solution. Whenever someone asks about this swap its always the same people saying "CANT BE DONE! Too many computers"
Thanks so much for putting this out there. I'm planning a similar project and I really appreciate the time you took to put this all together. Do you know if the 6-speed manual from an SLK350 (R171) is also compatible with the M113 engine? Asking because I found one for cheaper than an R170 trans. Thanks!
Great work! I just came across your channel, this information is super valuable as I am looking to do a manual conversion on my c280 w202. Do you know if the SLK 320 716.6 transmission would mount to the m112 engine?
Hi, to get in reverse you pull stick up first and then slide to the left Which spring correspond to pull up mechanism? Because mine is so heavy to pull it up, slide to the left n then move to the back to get in reverse gear theres no problem at all
So one day im looking at my 6 speed manual v6 c class. My buddy has 2003 g55 amg and obv he has 2 more cylinders and bigger engine but bell housing and everything else looked the same. So my question to myself was why cant i put a v8 5.5 liter engine in with 6speed manual Well you answered it i can do it. Great news. My new drift machine will be now made
I just got my headliner redone, and some other interior parts, I would like to keep the car to 400,000 miles or so although I have a 230. I've seen this car on the forums but yeah, thats all.
Great info. What manual box would you use for a m119 engine. I know there is nothing that fits standard, but where would you start? How much power would you expect your 6 speed to handle? Many thanks
Awesome video! I have w208 clk430 that I want to manual swap. When it comes to keeping your shifter position switch connected while in nuetraland jumping transmission connector.... doesn't the computer not let you rev pass so many thousands of RPM. Meaning with manual swap cant max out rpms. Did you tune computer for that rpm rev limiter? Please respond. Thanks
Hi mate , really enjoyed your no nonsense straight forward video Ive got a w111 coupe with original 4 speed stick and I’ve got my m113 5ltr from and clk and wanted to do same 6 speed conversion as you’ve done here but unfortunately the slk never landed in australia here with manuals Any leads on getting the complete set up over there ? Do you Have an email ? Thanks again
Hello. Maybe you can help me with a doubt that i have about E320 transmission. I have a W210 E240 (2.4 manual). Great car. I quite enjoy driving it, specialy long distances. But, i would like to have something done in order to convert it to a 320, either by keeping the block of my current engine, or swaping it entirely for a 320. But, i would like to keep the manual 5 speed transmission. As you did study your swap, can you tell me if any of the options that i have in mind is possible with swapping parts only. I mean, is the manual gearbox from my E240 V6 a plug&play fit with the same era 320 V6 engine? If you do jnow the answer, you would save me quite a bit of research around this issue. Thank you. (I just subscribed and am looking forward to watch more of your videos)
Just asking ....why did for two decades MB-AMG fit great engines with such an awful automatic transmission ? They did blindly trust in it,not even offering a more suitable gearshifting system as an option. Was there a reason for that ? Probably a reason was there,for they to carried on such a technical choice for 20years, albeit several MB enthusiasts openly disliked it. Some suggestions ? Thanks for your opinions.
Have you put a supercharger on it? I'm considering a 5.5 swap and putting supercharger on it. I was either going to rebuilt the 722.6 or possibly putting a manual in it. What would you recommend?

Thats the best Video thanks 👍
Glad you liked it!
You should put the parts list in the video description
Very nice project, good info and I like the ingenuity!

Thank you so much
Why not use the s class 500bhp? Great video
How did you get rid of the check engine light?
Good video! Do you know if this same gearbox will bolt up to a c280 M104 straight 6?
No I don’t think so
Got a question I own a w204 c300 6speed manual 2009 I want to do a c43 swap but don’t know what year to buy and try the swap

I just seen part 2. You answered my question! Great job!
jesse delgado
Watch part 2
Are you sure that this gearbox is enough strong? I have broke similar MB gearboxes several times (370HP and 550Nm).
What broke on the transmission?
@@410kane in MB gearboxes almost everything is to weak to track use
I’ve done many laps on the best test track in the world as well as uk tracks the slk320 trans has held up fine
There is a guy on Bulgaria, drifting with way over 800 HP and never any problems. These boxes are very strong!
So did you do it?!

Hi yes indeed the engine will plug and play.
beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Do you think your parts set up will work for the M119 W210 E420 ? PLease advise
Hi no the gear box will not mate to the m119

No my cars not supercharged I’ve gone for weight reduction for better power to weight. If I was going for supercharger I’d stay auto
Looks good. Can’t wait to see it driving. Is it ready ?
Is the flywheel of w203 same as the w202 ?
Not sure but I think so
I’ll have to see if not I’ll get it made stronger
One thumbs down...mmm she must not know what 3rd pedal is
im not buying another automatic for this car
Why a Manual gearbox,I dont understand
wtf
More fun to drive more durable than an automatic transmission
Hie How did you wire the reverse wire?
