My top plastic tank has a crack and leaks, got new one for 100 bucks, one question. Anyone replaced theirs? The bottom has to bungs for transmission cooler, I have a stick and cannot see right now if it has lines to it. I assume that is for auto only so should I cap them just to keep junk and dirt out or does 5 speed use a cooler? Thanks in advance, I have never seen a cooler on a 5 speed unless it is a race car LOL. I assume it is a one size fits all and is there only if you have auto transmission.

Cap them, you won't be needing them with a 5spd.
