Hi All,

long story short, doing a 6speed swap on my C55 AMG so I came over from MBworld for some help.

I have secured a deal for a transmission but I want to make sure that it doesn’t fall into the serial numbers with affected synchros before committing.

however the seller hasn’t been able to provide it since it’s in a warehouse. I do however have the vin, was hoping someone could look it up via database and see the trans serial #.

vin# 1C3AN55L35X041876

any help is greatly appreciated! This is going towards a build series on my YouTube channel, same name as my username 🤙🏼 If anyone is interested.

Thank you,
Brooks

 

If you are talking about the "pops out of first gear" issue, that was with the early 2004s only.
The VIN you provided is from 2005 - so that issue is not a concern.

Iv'e owned two 6 speed Crossfires, never had the issue, but my cars were 2005 and 2007.

If there is some other issue with manuals, I've been here eleven years and I don't remember hearing about it.

 

Thank you for the insight, I went ahead and purchased. There is a 6mo warranty if anything turns out wrong but I also figured since it was a 2005 and only 36k miles it should be ok.
