just cuz your motor is running on 5 cyls doesnt mean you need a new motor. could be something really simple like a bad coil. id check it out before going out and buying a new motor.

It would work better in your coupe. The cls was a 2 door. When I swapped the cls eng and trans in my tl, my back windows and locks wouldn't work. Now that I have a dx, that **** doesn't matter lol.

It shouldn't matter if you have a 4dr or 2dr when swapping a motor. it shouldn't affect the windows and locks.

When swapping that engine I had to use the engine wiring harness as well as the dash wiring harnesses in order to get the cls gauge cluster to work. And since the dash harnesses and left and right engine to cabin harnesses had to be swapped with the cls my locks and windows wouldn't work.

Check acurazine everything I did is on there. Screen name is murkyriverstl, also check fsttyms1 cause him and I had the same ****.

Hopefully OP already did a compression check on cylinder #5. You'd have to have pretty low compression for it not to fire.

Yes 03 cl-s 6 speed came with lsd. OP for the J32 swap a lot would be needed. It can be done but it would be better off buying a front clip from a tl or cl-s 6 for manual trans.
