You can use either. The auo one has a cooling tube through the end tank. Manual doesnt. Just get the manual one if possible. Looks neater.

Quote:
A lot of radiator suppliers will provide an automatic radiator as default, i guess because of the predominance of the automatic transmission in these cars. Only difference is the driver's side end tank has the fittings for the auto trans fluid cooler.
