Reply With Quotehere you go 400nm and 510nm variants
Id have to assume the likes of the CLK Black Series and CLK DTM have an LSD, i passed up the chance to test drive a Black Series a couple years ago. As far as i know, there are zero CLK DTMs in Australia, and only one in New Zealand.
here you go 400nm and 510nm variants

With a 55 engine maybe, but i wouldnt want it any taller with the 43 engine in there!!Originally Posted by Pagz
later MB 6-speed manuals in the higher torque application run 2.47 rear,2.82 should be perfect for the C43 then?
Id have to guess 1st in those 6 speeds would be a lower gear than the autos by quite abit, and possibly even 2nd as well, if they are using such a tall diff id say 6th is a 1:1 ratio, or 6th would be damn near useless.

Just saw that after my edit, so 6th is a .8ish in both. Huge gap between first and second!!here you go 400nm and 510nm variants
Bet you wish you had half a mil to grab that eh???
Ive heard two numbers in regards to CLK Blacks here, 30 or 35, which is about half the number of C43s ( including 98 thru 00 )

If I had that much disposible than yus please!
I havent done too much homework on those ratio's, I figure if it comes from an engine with similar torque curve then I cant go too far wrong...or can I??... that and the fact there is only one to choose from^^

Itll do the job, ill just wait til someone goes nuts and figures out how to get a 7 speed auto in there
I think space could be the main hurdle, the newer 6-speed manual/7 speed auto looks bigger!?.
Just in case you guys ever replace your timing chain idler pully,its a left hand thread with an oil gallery up one side..dont ever forget that!.lol=(

Yea I knew that ... Terribly sorry I feel as if you didn't !
Hell with that though, Paul you should join the Volkswagen community!
Kind of felt like it had a nut on the back, you know that sensation when it turns but doesn't get any looser?...well I soon lost that sensation and another one which lasted much longer came along shortly after
Nice whip man!, I do wonder sometimes why I bother with mb

Yea there's no thread left in the block huh! That's reverse thread too, so I have no idea what you can do ...
Join the dark side!
Looking nice and flat there
Yeh there's an easy fix, a new block xD
I'm devising a way to mount it up to my mill and take it out to LHT 18x1.5, then make a C shape insert with LHT 10x1.5 to mimic the 4mm oil gallery. the only complication is removing the hex(22mm) bung in the V of the block to make sure no swalf is left over...it looks like it can be removed anticlockwise but I'm not so sure??. Also the carrier bearing was surprisingly worn on the load side, you could flip it 180 degree's but I think i'll just replace.

But LH thread would mean the rotation of the chain would constantly remind it to come loose..
Idler sprocket rotates anticlockwise?(its on the outside of the chain so opposite to crank direction)
I removed the large oil gallery bung on the V of the block, had to beat on it a bit to get it free but it is threaded and comes out smooth once you break the seal. this gives full access to the area behind the idler pully and there looks to be no way swarf can get anywhere else(some relief haha)

Pic of the idler gear please,
Yea if it sits at the middle of the V it would turn counter clockwise, so a LH normal thread would natrually come loose. No?
Yip sure, will snap some tonight
Left hand thread should mean it will tighten if spun anticlockwise, which should be a good thing for the anticlockwise pully!.
Turns out that left hand bolt has an fairly accurate torque spec in wis of "58Nm(+/-m 4.6Nm)", it is 3/4's of an alloy thread with an oil gallery up one side haha. A banjo would have been a better option but costs more i guess.

It would turn the same direction as you would turn to loosen the bolt, hence it would come loose.
Otherwise I don't think MB would have spent the time to put a reverse thread there .. Or I'm I missing something altogether.
your missing

P.S.
Sorry for the offtopic!
It seems soo many people are slapping together turbo kits from random dismantler yards! Awesome!
