Stupid question about radiators

[Hyjinx]

Looking at listings online for koyorad and knock offs ect,
Is there a difference between auto and manual rads?

By memory, the auto radiators have the cooler lines for the transmission running into it and think the manual ones don't have that.

But if your running a separate cooler for the transmission then I'd think the manual one should be fine ?

So mine manual if i got a auto one will i need to plug those lines up?and will be sweet?

If yours is a manual then I think it should be fine.
I don't think you really need to cap them off but up to you because nothing will be going thought the lines.

But this is what I think but don't see any other reason what I'm saying is wrong. Sorry only I don't wanna give wrong info, saying all that if I needed a radiator and a auto was available and mine was a manual I'd just buy it and install it.

Thats what ive done lol.
It was avail today for install tomorrow . goodish timing as i bought a cooler the other day as well so might as well do the lot.

Im sure ill find out pretty fast if i need to plug them up.

You will be fine seperate chamber for transmission fluid only.

Have just swapped my radiator out for an aftermarket aluminium radiator - and the automatic transmission cooler line attachment points don't fit.

Am I doing something wrong or do these attachment points come in varying sizes? The radiator was advertised to specifically fit the Legnum VR4.
