The replacement radiator that I got from http://www.radiators.com was a universal (fits both MT and AT) radiator. I have been using it for approx. 7 months and everything has been fine.

good to know. tried radiators.com , just wanted to much $ plus overnight wasn't included and they wanted 'around' 60 bucks for that. I think im gonna go with radiatorexpress.com. There site is down and i called them, they have the same MT/AT radiator as well, im assuming there is a transmission cooler in the front or rear of the radiator that will just remain unconnected??

The A/T rad. has 2 extra outlets for the tranny cooler, I just ran some small coolant hose from one clamp to the other and tightened them up with some screw-type hose clamps.

The AT radiator has an inlet and outlet which which cools the transmission fluid by running is through the bottom of the radiator. The inlet and outlet came with a rubber cap on my radiator.

Yep. A/T radiator can go on manual car but M/T can't go on A/T car.
Well, the latter can be done w/ aftermarket tranny cooler.

My AT radiator just has those openings hanging there and no coolant leaks. You'll be okay.

thanks for the replys guys. Went with http://www.radiatorexpress.com.
# 1-866-723-3977 spoke with a guy named jeff ext. 201. Real helpful and got it shipped out as soon as he could. $120 shipped

What is the coolent to water ratio??

Also, if this is such a common problem why hasn't it been brought to the attention of Acura?? Why not a silent recall???
