Manual Gearbox Swap Mercedes C43 AMG
Anyone who tells you a 6 Speed Manual Conversion in a C43 AMG is easy, don't listen to them. The devil is in the details. Months of working on it and we finally cleared all the computer problems. The main computer was looking for a speed sensor that is only in the automatic gearbox, not the manual, so it set off the check engine light. We cleared that by getting the computer reprogrammed, then it didn't want to talk to the ABS computer, cleared that and it's now back home in the garage. Was it worth it? YES! Was it a pain? YES! Is there any better feeling then AMG power with a manual gearbox? NO!
