yesterday,I was on a nag 1 trans site,,looking at high performance parts. One thing they said was prior to 1996 mercedes used double faced clutches in their trans.The only drawback was heat generated.i wondered why my sd trans at 368,000 miles shifts like new.Because its a diesel it does not see rpms high enough for heat.I wonder if these older clutches are used with a external trans cooler not heated by radiator,would they last longer.
