I just bought a new K2 clutch drum for my 1996 SL600 722.6 transmission. It has the new style needle bearing and teflon washer. I didn't realize when I bought this that it would also be required to change the output shaft, clutches and piston to the tune of an additional $700.00. So now I'm stuck with this new $400.00 K2 clutch drum and still need to purchase the piston and clutches and a new output shaft.
It appears Sonnax may have come to my rescue with a bushing that can be installed that will actually reduce the shaft diameter. I'd like to know if anyone has used this and what are the results. Is this recommended. I've attached a link to the information on it, as well as the instructions.
