hi there everyone ,p.s giving a shoutout to ix for the info,i confered with klemann today and this is what they said.there are 2 available transmissions that will go in as direct bolt ins ,and thanks to the merecedes merger there is the tranny in the amg55 supercharged 2003 or higher tranny which will hold upto 663 torque pounds with a 35 percent momentary higher load and this ones my favorite the v12 tranny thats in the amg 65 2005 or higher trans mercedes dealers wont be able to order part without a vin.so here is a solution, ebay pick a vin at will order away.the amg 65 tranny will hold uptoabout 800 torque pounds closer to 900 though again with 35 percent momentary higher loads ,same deal withoredering it find the car on ebay swip vin and 6100 dollars later walla new tranny .prices vary and they have swaping programs where if you give them a core unit price is cut in half around 3800 ,but unless you happen to have a tranny laying around i dony see how you would get around it .i am very happy today....
