can the radiator from a 91 automatic go into an 89 manual??? The reason I'm asking is because the 91 radiator is practically new and the 89's has a crack in it. I know the automatics have the built in tranny cooler but I can't remember if the manual does or not. i would look at the 89 but it's about 300 miles up the road right now. if the manual doesn't have the tranny cooler couldn't I just connect both sides of it with a hose and call it good. any help would be appreciated.

 

Can anybody help? I need to know soon I need to know whether or not it's going to do any good taking it out. I don't want to take this radiator out and transport it on a "it might fit".

 

The manual radiator doesn't have a transmission cooler built in, I dunno if you would be able to use it though, I kinda doubt it but like I said I don't know for sure.

 

could you do like i mentioned and take a hose and connect the in and out side of the tranny cooler? I know it wouldn't be cooling anything but if it's just antifreeze/water going threw it would it cause any problems?

 

It's not coolant running through those because I did my auto to manual swap. I just left the things you connect the hoses to open and nothing's coming out. So yes, you should be able to use it. The only thing is I dont' know about an e to a de or vice versa.

 

well if it's not coolant i think it should be fine. i'll take my chances.
