Will a radiator from automatic trans fit a Manual MX3?

Post by AlexMX3 »

I was wondering is someone could tell me if a radiator from an Automatic 1993 MX3 1.8L will fit an 1993 1.8L manual transmission Mx3?
Thanks in advance. :?:

that smaller "radiator" in front of the radiator is the condenser for the A/C.

Ok so there could be coolant leaking from there. Is that right?
OR is that absurd? because it's refrigerant and there shouldn't be any coolant in there?
I just have to know
Thanks

I'm hoping someone could confirm the previous statement so I could get started with the replacement right that instant.

A/C goes psssssshhhhhht! when its leaking, maybe the coolant is coming from somewhere else and dripping onto the a/c condenser? overflow bottle perhaps?

Thanks guys!
It was actually the rad behind the condenser shooting a spray of coolant straight forward through the condenser so it looked like it was leaking from there. So all is fixed now.
The radiator for automatic trans looked a little different but with parts from the old one it fitted the manual trans no problem.
Thanks again all.
