Hello, and thank you for reading this.
I Ordered a radiator online and they sent me the wrong one and I don't want to return it, the problem with that radiator is that the one I got in the car is for a manual transmission car and the one they sent me is the one for automatic tranny, is there anything I can do to make that radiator work for my car?? (The radiator they sent me has two threaded holes on the side, seems they are for the tranny fluid) thanks a

 

Do the threaded holes have something threaded into them... If so, leave them in and you should be fine.. I believe when I replaced my radiator, I saw the same thing.

 

WOA THERE...If they are PLASTIC plugs there, replace with metal plugs. That's the only caviat.

 

I'm pretty sure mine were metal.

 

Some are, but as a tech and Gen Mgr of a franchise, I've seen a lot come with plastic plugs. I'm not trying to slam you, I just want s0xz to be certain

 

the threaded holes are open

 

I dont know if putting a plug on those holes would do anything, the tranny fluid has different flow ways it wont mix with antifreeze, I just want to see if any one has run into the same problem, or any body knows anything about it

 

Never took it as a slam... But, thanks for the advice on it.

 

may be I can use those holes to the radiator to cool the engine oil, lol what cha think?

 

Sure can. But where you gonna drill holes in the block. They MIGHT make a cooler kit that goes between the oil filter and block, but I'm not sure. And if you just plug the holes, nothing is gonna happen. The auto tranny cooler area in the radiator doesn't cross over to the antifreeze. It's a seperate system within the radiator. Plugging it off just prevents crap and itty bitty critters(insects, spiders, etc) from getting in there
