A quick tip that I learned......
Buy the radiator for an automatic, you can plug of the trans cooler lines if running a manual trans.

I was actually wondering the same thing. Arent they the same radiators just with holes in them for cooler lines

lugnutz08 · November 6th, 2007, 01:11 AM

cuz you can run a oil cooler through it, etc etc

Speedstang302 · November 6th, 2007, 09:43 AM

and if im right the one for auto is a little cheaper

im running a griffin 2-core aluminum and it keeps it in the 170's all day long, never hit 190 w/ it yet..

Autos are more expencive if they have the trans cooler in them.

I run a griffin too, I love it.

In my particular case, I did it because of dual purpose. For the extra few bucks I spent on the one for the automatic, it gives me the option of running a manual or auto trans. If I decide to swap out my 5 speed to a C-4 or AOD later, it's one less item I have to additionally buy.

I always run the manual radiator. In any performance application with an automatic you NEED a separate trans cooler anyway.
