Hey guys,
I actually do not have a chrysler Crossfire, nor do I intend on getting one. However, I know that the crossfire platform is based off of the SLK chassis and uses the same style drivetrain/engine.

I have a 1997 C36 AMG, these cars have a very common transmission problem, currently mine is having more errors and I am in need of a new one. THe cost of a rebuilt one installed is about 1200, not to mention itll just break again...

My solution to this, was to convert my car to manual (although the costs may be higher now, it'll pay off in the long run, especially a 6spd vs. my 5spd.)

I know that mercedes manuals can be hard to come by, however I have been able to find alot of different crossfire transmissions, and I plan on trying to go through chrysler parts in order to convert my car.

I would like some insight on what you guys think is the best transmission, and what I should be aware of/ need to look out for.

I believe the 05-07 Transmissions are the best from what I have read.
THis is where I have been looking, "http://www.autopartsfair.com/chrysler-used_transmissions/crossfire-2004-used_transmissions.html?campaign=theautochannel"

However IDEALLY, i would find a crashed Crossfire, and buy everything (from the slave and master cylinders, to the pedal assembly.

Here is the parts list so far,

- transmission (6 speed from crossfire 05-07)
- single mass flywheel(flywheel needs to be 60-2 tooth)
- front part of the drive shaft
- pedal assembly with clutch pedal and cylinder
- clutch disc and pressure plate, used but good as part reference
- shifter, shifter linkages, interior trim, nuts n'bolts, etc

Any advice or insight you guys have would be amazing. THANKS

PS) in case anyone is wondering, the ECU side of the project will be done by retuning the ECU only.
I will trick the Computer into thinking it is in neutral (and then changing the rev limiter setting for neutral)

Here's my car just for looks.
