But also the cooler in the radiator has the ability to warm the transmission fluid!
With it removed you seriously run the risk of your transmission never reaching operating temperature and suffering potential damage.
If you must persist with your after market remote cooler you will have to add a thermostat to allow the transmission to reach full operating temperature. And remember that you cannot simply block the flow until temperature is reached, you will have to allow the flow to bypass your new cooler.
In short MB engineered a VERY robust system and you will be hard pushed to improve on it.
My view, revert to standard as soon as possible.
