Yes another one of Tanks's crazy ideas....

so basically the NAG1 is one crazy old beast. and its been around since 1994....

the 722.6/NAG1/5G-Tronic was replaced by the 722.9/NAG5/7G-Tronic.

The seem to operate very similarly. Might even be hot swappable with a few PCM changes from the way it sounds.
Might even be LX capable...?!?! and is used on their current v12s and should up your gearing for accelerating, but also sit nice in 6th or 7th gear for cursing and bring your RPMS down while cruising. Maybe an aftermarket TCM or wiring will(mostly likely) be needed to get something like this to work.


I went into our Mercedes Dealership looking for parts for the NAG1 though.
To bring the NAG1 up to the Mercedes standard of 796lbs of TQ which is enough for a lot of the mid level guys.
Might be putting a kit together for you guys so you could order one or something if anyone is interested.
Atleast give you guys parts numbers from my research. I need to get some more info, and then i will be going back to talk to the service manager and collecting some service/parts catalogs on the NAG1 for more learning pleasure.

Mercedes rates in nM, not tq. Convert it drom nm to tq and you eill see its about 150 lower than your thinking. Pcs makes a stand alone controller but no one has made it work.

you realize the current kits out there utilize the big mercedes stuff already? The clutches are readily available through most transmission supply houses.
