ThanksJune 9th, 2021 at 7:34pm ESTbenzer (0) 0Any history of the head gasket failing or being replaced? And any documented history of the wiring harness being repaired? I understand those are two pretty well documented weak points on these C36's. Any info is helpful!June 9th, 2021 at 7:20pm ESTbenzer (0) 0@1man1engine just to follow up on J4177's question, are there any actual invoices/work orders/pictures documenting the transmission swap or just receipts from the parts?June 9th, 2021 at 8:44am EST1man1engine (1) Seller 0@J4177 The swap was completed November 3rd 2019, the car had 163,xxx miles on the odometer at the time of completion, the trans is from a euro spec 300ce-24 m104 980 engine, 717.450 getrag dogleg. The same trans used in the r129 SL300 in the US. There are other transmissions that will work but wanted to be sure I sourced a trans that I would not have to replace because of weakness. The flywheel is dual mass, both the trans and the flywheel were sourced from rennsport factory in the UK. Shifter bushings, both pilot and release bearings are new so there is no slop in the shifter, transmission fluid was also replaced at the time of the swap. Unfortunate I was unable to source the oem dogleg shift knob and boot which is rare so the shift pattern on the knob does not indicate it’s a dogleg. The driveshaft had to be lengthen and the car was down for about a year because I wanted the swap done right. The swap was not done by me but by a friend of mine that’s a well accomplished tech and has worked on all of my cars.June 9th, 2021 at 4:15am ESTJ4177 (0) 0Gorgeous car. Which pictures show the “thorough maintenance records documenting the transmission swap”? I assume the receipts are in chronological order but the invoices skip from October 2019 to 2020. I see parts receipts but no labor invoice. Was the swap performed by the owner?

I have not attempted to fix it.June 7th, 2021 at 12:47pm EST$6,000 bid placed by @albanianbenzJune 7th, 2021 at 12:37pm EST$5,500 bid placed by @EUvalleyJune 7th, 2021 at 9:10am ESTbenzer (0) 0@1man1engine thank you for the reply. Do you know what caused the dent on the hood and have you made any attempt/inquiry to fix it?June 7th, 2021 at 8:46am EST1man1engine (1) Seller 0@mji1984 It is so much more enjoyable. My biggest concern was swapping the wrong transmission. I initially purchased slk 717.460 trans only to find out the M104 has too much torque. Doglegs aren’t readily available in the US so had to source the transmission from the UK. June 7th, 2021 at 8:39am EST1man1engine (1) Seller 0@benzer No accidents recorded on the car. The paint is in good condition and absolutely no rust. The car has spent all of its life in the wormer parts of the U.S.June 7th, 2021 at 8:35am EST1man1engine (1) Seller 1@Jeb105 The trans is from a 300CE, 717.450. This transmission was also available in the R129 300SL. 1 of 2 gtrag transmissions available from Mercedes at the time.June 7th, 2021 at 7:20am ESTJeb105 (0) 0What kind of transmission was put in the car during the swap?June 6th, 2021 at 9:57pm ESTbenzer (0) 0Quite a lot of paint correction on this car (and some needed) but otherwise all body panels appear to match. Hopefully no accidents!

Used to have a dogleg 16v and it was so much fun despite being painfully slow. I imagine the 3.6 is considerably quicker.

I picked up a imperial red a couple months back with 95k miles. And then 2 days later a complete c230k for the 6 speed manual to be swapped into the c36. Can't wait to see what this goes for.June 3rd, 2021 at 8:15pm EST$3,636 bid placed by @albanianbenzJune 3rd, 2021 at 8:11pm ESTLeverUp (0) 0Message sent
