do i need a new radiator?
when i put this new t-5 tanny in my car do i need to get a new radiator to match the manual trans, or does it not even matter? currently i have a stock 700r4 auto tranny. I just get lost when it comes to this type of thing. do i need someway to cool my transmission at all or is it built in?

You should be fine. The T-5 tranny doesn't need any cooling lines. You can find some plugs for the holes in the radiator tank, though they shouldn't leak as they are.

no you don't need a new radiator . there is no cooling required with a t-5 . you might want to plug holes where auto trans. cooling lines went into old radiator . no new eng. cooling problems .
