      Automatic rads have the connections for the tranny lines, fluid runs through it and gets cooled. So...big differance....unless you use a tranny cooler on the automatic...then you can use a regular 5 speed tranny.

        You can use the radiator from an auto on a stick shift; it's thicker and cools better.

          Automatic radiators are also 2 core where the 5 speed one is a single core. But you can use the auto in a manual car.

            I have done it!
            Just make sure you flush out all the trans fluid otherwise it'll leak out over time in your drive way or garage.
            You can also just cap the inlet and out let off.
