I don't know specifically on the 4th gen, but on the 5th gens the auto radiator has a cooling section with lines at the bottom for the tranny fluid. If you're swapping in a manual radiator without the tranny cooler, you can add an external oil cooler. You can find them for ~$50 from a local parts store.

they are for sure different...auto car radiators have a sections for the tranny fluid to be cooled. you can do what the other person said and buy the radiator for the manual car and just get a small oil cooler for the auto transmission fluid

is his is stock, they are different.
i had to replace mine last year, but i was the other way around, mines a 5 speed and i ended up with a radiator for an auto. i called the company i ordered it from and they seemed to think that they only make the auto ones now because you can use them for both auto and manual. so check with the guy and see if the radiator he has is a replacement and ask is it has the lines at the bottom.
