90-93 Accord radiator?
when replacing the radiator in a 90-93 Accord LX auto, does it matter on the automatic transaxle cooler lines with one goes to what? when i took them off i didnt notice witch one went to what. will it hurt anything if they are put back to the wrong ones? if anyone has a picture of the lines in their original position that would be a great help. any help is appreciated.

The coolant lines for the transmission just run along to bottom of the radiator. so it doesn't matter which hoses go where.

Re: 90-93 Accord radiator? (ricepicker)
There are brackets and different hose lengths on trans lines, if system is OEM. Hoses are very stiff and you won't be able to hook up incorrectly. I just replaced radiator on a 94 EX and it's difficult-impossible to hook everything up (in place) due to the cross member interference.
I pull the radiator temporarily upwards (high side to driver's side) and twisted to hook up lower radiator hose, 1st trans line, and second trans line from passenger side to driver's side, in that order. Then twisted radiator back down into position. It's virtually impossible to reinstall all the clamps and hoses w/o a ding or two to your new radiator. You might try placing a piece of cardboard over the radiator face during installation to protect the very fragile aluminum fins.
My job came out fine. I had a number of cracks in the plastic upper radiator header.
good luck

Re: 90-93 Accord radiator? (KatyHonda)
yea man thanks, but i wasnt concerned with the radiator swapout. i was more concerned with did i mix up the 2 transaxle lines.

yes there are 2 lines that are stiff running into the tranny, but where they are ran from the stiff lines to the radiator is 2 rubber lines. they are different in lenght but they can go on either stiff line. just wanted to know if this will hurt anything if hooked up wrong or if you could hook it up wrong. if one feeds and one sucks it back in then does it matter, doesnt it just go into the radiator to cool the fluid?
