Is a 3.5 auto radiator different to a 3.5 manual radiator? apparently the auto one doesnt have a tranny cooler...so is there any differences like lugs or connections?

man and auto radiators are different far as i can remember

you can use a auto rad in a man but not man rad in auto

Yup - the auto coolant line which runs through the... err... auto one ;-)

if there is no trans cooler....why would there be a line for it? or does the trans fluid run though a seperate part of the radiator?

sorry for the idiotic questions....just want to know why my brand new radiator was changed to a crap old one with a busted lug on top :flame:

There is a small cooler element inside the radiator, that is separate internally (ie. isolated from coolant).
