Okay so I have a mechanic doing some work for free he owed me some money..so I had him change hedgasket put a aftermarket radiator on and some other stuff..I bought a manual radiator with dual fans off a guy and mine a auto but planning on swapping. The guy said I jus needed to relocate Tranny cooler. Well brought the rad to the guy he showed me two lines and said they came from Tranny and go to bottomed of radiator Idk how to relocate that so question is how do I relocate Tranny cooler..my thought was oil cooler and Tranny cooler were same...my also thought was I have a spare oil cooler that we thought we could wash out real well and use aa the Tranny cooler would it work..sorry noob questions new to imports

If you want to put a manual trans radiator into an auto car, you need to replace the trans cooler that was in your old radiator. A good way to replace it would be to stop at a nearby auto parts store and ask for a good quality aftermarket trans cooler to replace your existing one. I will have to defer to another member with an auto to confirm the size of the hoses, (I suspect they may be 3/8").
