Default radiator question for people that did the auto to manual swap

For those of you that have done the auto to manual swap do you have to replace the radiator with a 5 spd one or can you keep the automatic one. And does anybody know who makes a oem fiberglass hood for the 95 accord 4dr?

I believe the only difference is the Auto has an extra fan? I would say you're fine keeping the auto one

The only difference is the factory auto trans radiator has the trans fluid cooler at the bottom.
You should not need to change the radiator.

old thread but what the heck. i am doing this swap now. i am also a member over on cb7 tuner and what they do over there is either cap the radiator or loop the system to the other part that goes out to the tranny cooler.

There's really no need to loop it... You can just cap off both ends and be done with it. A couple of people I know didn't even bother to do that.
