Did i brought the correct radiator??
Hello! I have honda civic 92 and need to know if brought the correct radiator. The old radiator don't have ATF cooling, but the new one have ATF cooling. I thought it might have brought the wrong radiator. Does anyone here knows?? Please help..


I hate autozone, but
if you go to autozone.com and input your vehicle info you can look at pics there and that may show you if this will work or not. Based on the pics I THINK this should work, the only thing up for debate is the ports on the side, but they are capped, so I think it should be just fine
what about the other side? how does that look? identical?

It will work just fine. I bought this radiator http://www.radiatorsgalore.com/1992-...-and-core.html which ended up having the nipples for the auto trans cars too, but its just for the trans fluid to circulate into if you have an auto trans-has nothing to do with the coolant at all so just leave it alone and install it.

Just to verify what has already been said... I too run the same one you pictured in my 5spd 93 civic. Those ATF tubes do not enter the actual coolant chambers with the engine coolant. They have their own separate channel through the bottom for cooling.
100% perfectly fine. You will just leave those 2 lines disconnected.

Thank everyones for you help. I was bit concern about this radiator because it didn't look identical so i thought it would be a problem. Since everyones said it wouldn't be a problem, i did go install it. The other side of the radiator is the same. It just the ATF cooling that don't look the same. I also remove the thermostat so i hope everything goes well....

Don't remove your thermostat, it is never a good idea. Install a new one, they are cheap. If your car is still overheating, there is something else wrong. By the looks of your old radiator however, I can say with confidence that the engine should have been overheating.
the new rad. has the ports for the Auto trans. ... they do this so they can make one rad. and satisfy the need for everyone. less mixup. just leave the caps on them and pretend they are not there.
BTW . you need a thermostat... flush your cooling system with water and add new antifreeze and water .
