I'm looking for a new radiator for my 2008 2.3L manual tranny and all I see are radiators that state for use in auto transmission trucks or either they don't state for which but I'm not finding any that state for manual transmission use. I know the auto transmission radiators have a transmission cooler built into one of the end caps but wanted to know if these radiators fit along with the fan shroud into a manual trans truck? As many as I've looked at I can't believe I haven't come across one that states whether or not it'll work for replacement in a manual transmission truck.

 

After about 10 years or so all replacement radiators will come with trans cooler because it can be used for either manual or automatic, so no reason to make them with out trans cooler.

Yes, if its for your year and engine model then it will work fine.

Trans cooler is a long hollow tube so doesn't displace alot of coolant, you might get 1 cup more coolant into a manual trans radiator vs automatic radiator
