transmission

the five-speed automatic transmission adapted gearbox used in v-12 s-class models, because gearbox can take torque. adaptive , electronically controlled, , stronger unit of clk430. larger four-bolt driveshaft s 4 inches in diameter connects reinforced rear differential keep power under control. standard traction control keeps wheelspin minimum, while electronic stability program (esp) keeps clk on intended path.

handling

the standard clk chassis used, , while current version not based on new c-class platform, amg version of clk offers special undercarriage components. four-wheel independent suspension same lesser clk versions, amg fits higher-rated springs, tighter shock valving, larger diameter anti-roll bars , stiffer suspension bushings. resulting firmer, more controlled ride made tighter high-performance zr-rated low-profile tires. brakes have been enhanced well. huge four-wheel discs larger , thicker other clks, , rear discs specially vented enhance cooling. anti-lock braking system (abs) standard, while brake assist applies full braking force in panic stop faster driver could. rides on amg monoblock alloy wheels, 7.5 front , 8.5 rear, shod 225/45zr17 , 245/40zr17 michelin pilot sport tires.
