radiators (yeah, I know I know!)
Is this one from RADIATOR WORLD the only one that is basically like the stock unit, where it has the fittings for an automatic transmission? I am going to replace my radiator as part of my engine rebuild, since I had done the block-seal-in-a-can routine a few times and don't want any contaminants in my new engine, nor do I think the old original radiator is likely up to spec on cooling efficiency.

Any other radiator links for units that have the fittings for an automatic?

3rd gens have a separate transmission cooler where the secondary oil cooler normally goes on the passenger side so I'm pretty sure the radiator is the same for a manual and an automatic. You're thinking of a radiator with an integrated transmission cooler in it which the 3rd gen doesn't use.

The automatic model has a radiator with a cooler in the bottom (stock ), then the flow of transmission oil passes thru the pass. side oil cooler and back to the tranny. You can elimiante this cooler in the radiator though, I did when I was automatic and bought the ultimate radiator ( which does not have a tranny cooler in it )

I just want to keep things as 'stock' as possible, as far as fitment and fittings go. I have an automatic, so I either need the radiator that accomodates it, or else I'll have to add an additional cooler (in addition to the one already on the front of the car) to insure adequate tranny cooling....but I would much rather just have a radiator that had the fittings. So far, only the radiator world one has been one I found in all my searching, including every post I could find on the subject. It looks like FLUIDYNE and KOYO do not offer a radiator like I want.
