Product Background
On M177 Mercedes vehicles, the same coolant is used to cool down the water-to-air intercoolers as well as the transmission. Even at stock power levels, this is not sufficient, as the system quickly heat-soaks and you are robbed of power due to high intake air temperatures, which are in part driven by the transmission. Your transmission also has to fight for the same cooling capacity and generally runs hotter than desired, especially after spirited driving
Our design solves these OEM shortcomings by completely divorcing your transmission oil from the intercooler fluid circuit. Our system uses a bar and plate oil cooler that mounts to the front crash bar to directly cool your transmission without having a fluid oil/coolant exchanger. Using our custom billet fluid divorcer, we are now able to reroute the transmission oil to its own dedicated radiator, resulting in colder transmission and intake temperatures.
