Radiator Replacement AT vs Manual ???
I need to replace the radiator in my 92 manual trans. All of the OEM replacement radiators have a trans cooler for an automatic. I would prefer a non-auto replacement radiator. Where can I find an OEM maunal trans raidator?
And if I can't find a non-auto radiator ... are there any issues with using a auto trans radiator?

AdvanceAutoParts can help you out if you would accept an OEM looking radiator. I won't link to an non-supporting vendor but they are easy to find.
Have you tried thepartsladi?

Whatever you buy, make sure it has an aluminum core like the factory radiator. The auto trans cooler causes no problems in a manual transmission car. All the replacement suppliers include a trans cooler to reduce the number of part numbers they have to make and inventory. Modine makes an excellent OE replacement radiator.

No, you can use the oe auto without connecting up the lines. Everyone says "just plug them" but nothing is going to come out of there, it's not connected to the coolant.
We do make a manual version one, but it's a double row and it cost more than the replacements.
