The radiator is only different because of the internal transmisson cooler for the automatics. You only have to worry about that if you are going from manual to automatic. You could easily add an external trans. cooler if you run into this problem. I just put caps on my trans. cooler fittings when I did my swap to manual.

Your auto radiator and dizzy will be fine, as will the starter. Just fit the stick shift tranny, and try it.

The auto car should have a higher ratio diff, 3.54-1. With the manual tranny, this will make for a nice cruisy lower reving drive. You may miss out on low down acceleration a little.

Also your speedo will read wrong.. You would need to change the speedo drive pinion at the side of the tranny. The little cog at the end is colour coded

for the tooth number. (sorry can't remember which one you need) There is a different one for different diff ratios.

Automatic transmissions are great. My wife loves the one in her minivan.
