it may not have the transmission cooler built in to it. You would need to buy a trans cooler.

Manual radiators don't have the tranny cooler.

What kind of radiator is it? All aluminum racing radiator (koyo mosishimoto)? Or just a stock radiator?

If youre building yourcar for boost or racing i would say get the aluminum radiator and add an aftermarket tranny cooler for fairly cheap. But if you're mostly stock then just buy the auto radiator
