Help. radiator trouble

[nexTOme]

i too had AT radiator on my previous 6thgen MT.
mine came with plug, but it wasn't anything sturdy enough to stand radiator's pressure though. so i would assume that as long as you don't plug tranny's cooler line, you would be good to go.

mine did have drain plug tho. i think they were from denso.

A lot of the aftermarket cheap ones don't have drain plug. OEM's do.

Yes, the ATF lines and cooling system are separate... how else would it work? You don't have coolant going through the A/T.

To drain, just remove the lower hose, no big deal. A lot of techs use this method over the petcock because it drains much faster, meaning more $$$ in their pocket.
