    Anyone replace their radiator on a manual yet?
    Looking to do mine as preventative maintenance before it blows up.
    Seen enough plastic end tanks crack at 140k; it's not designed to last forever or past 10yr/100k

    Problem is, for CSF (supposedly good brand) RockAuto shows only CSF3200, which appears to have extra ports for ATF cooling.
    Wasn't long ago they misdescribed LCA bushings as the wrong ones.

    Are there even manual ones available? Or do they only make one for both to be used in either for cheaper production?

    I can't help but think an auto radiator, though it may work in a manual, would reduce cooling ability by having empty space reserved for ATF

    reached out to ask CSF; no response

    Aftermarket radiators typically all have the atf cooler installed, they rarely make a "manual trans version" radiator in the aftermarket. It's likely to save on manufacturing costs by making one product that fits multiple applications.
