I'm not questioning you per se, as I don't have any better sources... but is this accurate? I've heard it repeated (from multiple sources nonetheless) that the reason manual transmissions aren't offered on the really high-performance Mercedes vehicles, is they don't have any MTs that will handle the torque. Is this inaccurate? I know Josh has reported positively with his NA 6MT transmission with the V8 swap though... Don't remember what his numbers are offhand. Inquiring minds want to know
