I read a service bulleton,which talked about w140 trans coolers rotting causing coolant to mix with ATF.As soon as I get the money I will disconect from it and run a external cooler.Transmision lifespan wil be longer. I've done this to several auto matics over the years.
Thanks for the warning of radiator support,I will weld a shield in place.
