So I ordered a radiator for my '05 the other day that stated all tranny's so seeing that I never paid much attention to an auto tc it never registered that it had the tranny cooler lines.

Anyway they sent me an auto trans radiator. My question is there a way to plug the auto trans cooler lines on the radiator so I can use it on my manual tc? I really don't feel like waiting for a new one to come in.lol

 

yeah just get some plugs for it and screw them in,you can use the think they are caled ANSI plugs,you know the ones that are red or blue that are used for like fuel lines and such......that is what i used on the weapon r overflow tank.

 

you don't have to plug them, just leave them alone or put tape over the ends.

 

Then coolant will come out. They are there to bring coolant to the auto tranny.

 

transmissions are not water cooled, atf runs through the rad/trans cooler.

Yup thats right!
Just did the manual swap on my auto and left the trans cooler plugs wide open and no problems. The ATF is cooled by air not by the water.

 

So wide open is ok for them?LOL I guess I can try and if it works great. Thanks!

 

just take a pair of dikes and cut the line's it will pinch the line. even tho it's not nessisary. but my friend's tc is manuel with a auto radiator. just pinched the line.s with a pair of dikes
