I have the original radiator in my 5 speed 1LE and noticed it does not have a auto trans cooler. Thought that was neat, so show your tanks stickers on factory stick radiators.

Thanks Time2Fly, interesting. Maybe Chaz will show us a pic of his ultra nice stick Conv IROC 5 speed radiator tag. Right now this stuff may not appear important but I believe that it will be more important as the value of our cars increases.

Photobucket is down. But both my '89, 5 speed, hardtop and '89, 5 speed, convertible both have the same stickers but with different date codes.

Re: School me on 5 speed radiator codes.

Y'all have aluminum/plastic radiators from the factory? My '92 RS and my '89 Formula (both 5-speed, V8 cars) had copper radiators.

Really neat Chazman, consistent use of part number for at least 3 years!
