I bought a Fluidyne aluminum radiator off of craigslist and the guy told me it was for a manual trans. Of course I trusted the guy and when I got home the part number says it's for an auto trans. am i still able to use this at all? or do i need to sell it?

thanks!

Block of the ports for the auto trans and you should be fine.

If there are intermediate fittings sticking out of the auto trans heat exchanger, it's a 1/4" NPT size thread IIRC.

Could you use the cooling ports for the auto trans as a power steering cooler?
