ok im finishing my 5 speed swap and need some help, where do you get thos plugs to plug the holes in the radiator that were used for the auto tranny cooler lines?

Home Depot? I haven't plugged mine.

you didnt plug yours? how did you keep the coolant from leaking out, did you just loop the ends of cooler lines together? :tweak:

WHAT?????

how would coolant leak out????? think about it.....

by your logic ATF fluid is mixing with coolant......

there is a seperate cooler in the end tank of the rad. just for ATF. its sealed and coolant flows around it. those nipples on the ends tank are feed and return for ATF, not coolant.

coolant does not flow through your transmission

automatic radiators have built in tranny coolers.

If I were you I would just sell the radiator you have and then buy a new manual sufficient one since running stock radiator is no fun.

or

you can just post a WTB:

I have a couple at my disposal if your interested.

C&R's are good quality. and cheap.

you just need to plug watever holes you got, but the radiator is pressurized to around 60psi so they have to be put in pretty strong. but as iroyal said manual trans dont have coolant systems, unless you add an oil cooler which still doesn't have coolant in it usually.
