I'm not sure what the trans cares about differential ratio though. Internal ratios will need programming to avoid gear implausibility codes, but those are assessed from input and output inside the trans.

I was afraid he was talking about Beckmann. I did talk with them at great length. They were very helpful but they cant do it. Im starting to belive that the trans ECU caring about diff ratio may very well be hearsay as I got no error codes referring to such.

Funny you should say that. As I was pressing the buttons I was thinking about how dumb an idea this might be and how I might regret this later. As you say luck was on my side.

It is then the technicians job to "code" the control unit to tell it which variants it will exist in. The final result is the code it is running with.

That is kind of what I figured although I had now where to check so I do thank you for the explanation.
I do have a way out of this if ratio is important and unchangable. I can just install the stock SL600 rear. Its not a bolt in but a reasonably doable mod of the rear sub frame.
Thank You
