Recently had the rediator on a 1982 Toyota Tercel spring a leak. The dealer did not have a replacement and recommended that I try to repair it before ordering an aftermarket radiator. Seeing that that thing has over 300,000 miles on it, I figured it would be best to just replace the radiator.
According to both Auto Zone and Advance Auto, the Transpro Ready-Rad (#433689) radiator was the one I needed for my car. When it arrived, I noticed that it had connections for the upper and lower hose, the fan switch, and two lines for a transmission. I have a manual transmission, which is cooled by a separate radiator.
So my question is this. Is it OK to use the new radiator even though nothing is attached to the holes for the transmission?
