Default Bought a Koyo radiator...need a little help though

would the koyo radiators be the same for both the auto and manual transmissions i personally think they are and when i ordered it there was no questions asking any difference between them so are they the same??also with the koyo radiator does it matter if its with a denso one or a toyo one...like recieving the difference from the oem one that i have?? i had asked the guy i was buying it from over the phone also and he said there seems to be no problem with them since they've had many customers who have bought them and have no problem with them...so should it matter if it really is a toyo or a denso in my aspect it doesnt matter due to the percentage of cooling that it actually helps with.

denso and toyo are the difference in radiator caps. it will sit right in where it needs to unless you get the wrong one. plug what in? just drop it on the lower supports, bolt the upper supports on the top. attach the fans however they go on, wire them in. put the upper and lower hose on, connect the over flow tank. fill her up bleed the system, and your done

It depends which Koyo radiator you bought.

If you bought a Koyo Racing All Aluminum radiator, those are ONLY for manual transmission cars. If you bought a Koyo OE replacement radiator those come with an automatic tranmission version for applicable vehicles and you can tell by the tranny fluid male connections at the bottom of the radiator.
