I've got a leak in my radiator and it looks like a replacement is due. A search for a new radiator revealed different radiators for the manual and the automatic transmission. My convertible was converted to a 5-Speed Manual by the person I bought it from. I did have to have the transmission rebuilt about a year after getting it but that is a different story. My question is will this conversion effect the kind of replacement radiator I need for the vehicle? Again, any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I don't think the transmission type will have any bearing on the radiator. Any 240sx radiator replacement should be just fine.

If I were you, I'd get Koyo. It's bigger and one of common upgrades people do when radiator goes bad. R1276 is part # for KA24DE. If you want this one, get it from one of NICO sponsors.
