Default Radiator fitment Automatic transmission vs. manual

99 Accord - 2.3l 5sp

Most part stores list a radiator for cars with an automatic transmission but not a manual.

Is the size & fitment of the automatic radiator the same as the manual? with the exception that the automatic has the cooling setup for the auto transmission fluid. On other cars I've had the trans cooler was the only difference and the radiator worked on the manual or automatic.\, but I just wanted to make sure before I buy one.

Anyone have experience with aftermarket radiators on rockauto like Valeo or Spectra (in these cars)? Do they fit well?

I ordered a radiator from ebay for 50.00 bucks and it was for the auto or manual. Fitament is the same. I'm sure Honda designed it to work with both to cut cost, and on the manual like you said above, doesn't utilize the transmission lines.

Itll be the exact same, you just wont use the tranny coolers.
