Hey, guys! Ok, so I have a 1998 Civic ex automatic that is my DD. Yesterday when I was driving it it started over heating and I checked everything I found a crack on the radiator. So, now my question is if the radiator from my 1994 Civic (5 spd) will fit on my 1998 Civic (auto)? I remember reading once that it doesn't, but I can't exactly remember. :?

I hope someone can help me figure this out before I start ripping shit apart!

a radiator from a manual car will fit an automatic car. but the manual radiator does not have the built in automatic tranny cooler and you need that.

So, I'm just better off buying a new one from my local parts store?
