I have a very important question... Can you put a radiator from an automatic car into a manual car...? I bought a new radiator today, but it is for an automatic...
Ok… It has 2 tube things coming out of it that mine doesn’t, and I just want to be sure
What?
A car’s radiator should fit both manual and automatic configurations of the same engine. The only things that change between a M/T car and automatic is the wiring, the brain, and the gearbox.
The automatic radiator has lines for a transmission cooler, and I don’t know what I should do with them
mine is universal, the trans out and in nubs just sit there
i doubt that it wouldn’t fit, the gearbox takes no coolant from the radiator.
Depending on what make some radiators will have a transmission cooler section built right into the unit. The latest model Hyundai Santa Fe for example has one of these with the 2.0L Turbo. Where as the 2.4 is without it.
The radiator I bought has that… I don’t know if it will be a problem though if I have a manual
Don’t worry man. The trans cooler won’t affect anything. It’ll work for your car :)
leave this place..
Says the guy who has only been here for 2 months and has a score of 2… The automatic and manual radiators are different for my car… I know what I am talking about… The automatic one will hook up to a transmission cooler while the manual won’t
Well only if there is an integrated automatic transmission fluid cooler somehow. But most of the the time those are separate systems. I imagine you could just leave such extra systems disconected though.

Yeah it should be fine
