Hey All:
I just blew out my radiator and bought a replacement at the parts store. I have a 2003 GT convertible 5L with a manual tranny. So the new one says it will fit manual or automatic transmissions but I can't get fittings for trans cooler lines past the other lines in engine compartment. It should slip in but it won't because there's too many rigid metal lines in the way. The old one didn't have outlets for automatic trans lines so it slips in just fines. Any ideas? Can I remove fittings and plug the holes? Can I buy a radiator without those fittings? I have t had much luck finding one. Thx. Doug
