My wife's radiator started leaking badly yesterday.

Car is a 1996 Integra 4d LS with air & automatic

I am trying to find an aftermarket ALL ALUMINUM replacement that has the integral transmission cooler.

Do any of you teg owners know of one???

Koyo & Fluidyne are the only ones I coulid find so far but neither have the auto trany cooler in them.

I'm not a big fan of the plastic end tanks but I will go with that over one with multiple metals due to electrolytic action problems with the multiple metal aftermarket junk.

A separate trany cooler is not a good option either as the car is daily driven in minnesota and thus the AT fluid would never get up to a good efficient temp in the winter.

good review from many here on HondaTech

 

I found two on there previously. One OEM single row style with the plastic end tanks and an all metal 2 row HD radiator.

Which is the recomended one? I am skeptical of the "all metal" one again due to electrolytic action causing premature corrosion.

 

Plastic tank one seems to crack around 80-120k, but they fit better. My all metal one have much worse fit and finish and I do not recommend it.

Go plastic
