Is the radiator different between a MT and AT for 4th gen?

Hi,
Does anyone know if the radiators have different applications for a MT?
I ordered one recently off ebay but it doesnt fit at all, and it has 2 outlets on the bottom that I cant find where to hook it to...
the parts dealer told me thats the only part they got for the 4th gen.

Most parts dealer online only has one application for both AT and MT, but I dont want to get the wrong one again. Please help

I would think those 2 outlets are for auto trans fluid cooling.....but I would think the radiator for auto and manual would have the same dimensions,,,just do not have to use the 2 connections, in & out for auto trans fluid....

there is no problem for you to use the a/t radiator on m/t car

just leave the 2 small hole. or you can wrap out the 2 small hole.

that's it.

FYI, I just put my m/t radiator to an automatic transmission car but I have put the external cooler for my transmission before. that's working well for me.
