if anyone frequents the mbworld forum im sure you heard of hooleyboy. he has a s/c c55 v-8 and wails on it constantly at the track. he fried his tranny and this is what he got!. same as the srt-6's i believe.
The fast get faster - MBWorld.org Forums
maybe its the tranny answer everyone is searching for?

 

Whew..... after reading the title, I was afraid to open the thread. Thank goodness it is about transmissions. LOL

 

bob your a sick puppy!! i finally got my exhaust just were i want it! ansa had to go but the x pipe makes the world a happy place!! i have deep euro sound quiet thru the neighborhood but roars when i get in the throttle!

 

And sounds fantastic all the way up to 140, I might add... buahahahaha

 

Congrats on the exhaust. After so many people came up to me at the track thinking that I had a turbo setup due to my exhaust sound, I am beginning to wonder also. Steve, did your Ansa sound like a high pitched scream when you went WOT? Thanks

 

honestly bob with the res and cat delete added x pipe and the ansa it was just freakin loud!! add a constant vibration from the suspension rub it drove me crazy. i know have a refined sound when i want and a growl when its at wot

 

Maybe you can get John to take a video clip of you going by a WOT? I would love to hear it.

 

i can try but it might be hard to get him to stick his head out the window at 150 mph!!

dont worry, you will hear it when the big dog barks in the spring when in come down!

 

And that is assuming I could even peel my @ss off the seats at that speed.... LOL.

 

You guys are funny. John are you thinking about coming down with Steve this spring?

 

Shouldn't be a problem bud! Is there a tentative date ironed out? I can go ahead and put it in my planner

 

not yet john. i have a number of things to set up but the most important thing will be to try to get the dryest date as its a long trip and i hate the thought of a rainout.

 

nice find....went to tranny site as well....there is some much needed info on that site as well..

 

thanx for getting us back on topic doc! i dont about the fit but for the guys with the v8's or turbos this may be the answer. if the prices are correct its a big option over replacing the oem should they start to fail

 

...on a closed track of course.

 

At 2 in the morning, in a land far far away, with a computer simulated background.

 

yes sir, that upgrade is an expensive one, but, if you want things to shift better, they seem to have a way to get there...now, If I can look at what they are doing, for sure, maybe I can find the individual parts cheaper somewhere else....and lower the labor and mark up costs....good find for sure....and yes, bragging about 140 mph is off topic....so when you get to 160+ we'll let you bragg again....lol

 

c'mon doc we werent bragging just going to the mailbox to get the mail!!
my thought on this renntech trans was that a replacement oem unit runs what about 4k? if this is what you get for 2500$ while keeping your original unit its a great buy! i know hooleyboy drag races his c55 on a regular basis. prolly the same as a bunch on here and sooner or later the trans clutch pack is going to start to go. then theres an alternative to the oem

 

I expected to see a link to here: Funny Features and More: Funny Tranny Superheroes
