Radiator replacement manual transmission
I have a 95 civic DX 2dr with M/T.
I have a leaking radiator and am looking at a replacement. Most of the radiators I have seen have two small outlets for the automatic transmission cooling. I have a manual transmission and my radiator does not have these outlets. If I buy a radiator with the A/T outlets can I block them off safely (or connect them together) or is it better to get the correct radiator to begin with.
I only just noticed that the radiator run out of coolant, I had to drive about 2 miles (very carefully) with very little coolant in the radiator but now I cannot tell if the head gasket is gone or not without replacing the radiator. Anyone have any advice?

You can use the A/T radiator and simply cap the A/T-fluid cooler lines. It's simply a metal tube that runs through the inside the bottom tank of the radiator to keep the the A/T cool.

Re: Radiator replacement manual transmission (94eg!)
Yeah, I picked up the radiator and had no problems using it... I got everything installed and running and there seems to be no issues at all.
Thanks for the help!
