You can use a MT radiator with a AT car, but you'll need to run an external cooler and lines from the transmission. That would be a smart thing to do anyway

hey my radiator doesnt have the nipples for the automatic transmission. there is one hole, so i put a nipple in it, but there isnt another one..there are however these weird looking bumps that look like you can screw something on there, but they are sealed off?

I am in exactly the same situation. Can anyone recommend a good, however not too heavily priced transmission cooler ? I was looking at the 4 seasons one on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4-Se...Q5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_2399wt_1167)

That will work, however, I seem to recall that they are a fair bit cheaper than that at the local auto parts store... but I might be thinking about the cooler itself instead of the complete kit like that is. In any case, they aren't difficult to get, pretty much any parts place should have something that will work.
