Anyone.....

 

From all the people I have seen with KOYO radiators, they have all reported that their fitment was 100%.

 

Awesome. I'm still in the air because I've heard fitment was fixed on all of them.

 

i haven't installed my Mishimoto yet - but this week or next I plan to. I wanna get it in before the summer starts up here in vegas. I'll confirm after I get it done

 

I would GREATLY appreciate it before I pull the trigger on anything. Im seriously looking into the koyo, because they are kinda the best of the best, and I am turbo'd. I just dont want anything to go wrong. Though with overheating I would have ample time to fix it.

 

Do you guys know if the Mishimoto radiator has the transmission connections for the 5AT. Ive been looking it up but cant find a clear yes. i dont want to buy a separate transmission cooler.

 

I concur and have heard this as well..

 

Mishimoto makes radiator models with the transmission lines. I think only the older models didn't have them. Make sure it specifically says it's for a 5AT before you buy it, though.

I have a Mishimoto currently. Fitment was not perfect but I got it to work. I had to buy adapters from Home Depot to get the transmission lines to hook up properly, so keep that in mind.

 

they have 2 different versions - if you get the MMRAD-G35-03 then it will have connections for the automatic trans cooler

 

I ended up ordering the Mishimoto and it was not a perfect fit. Fits really tight and i had to leave out the bottom rubber boots that go on the radiator legs because it was too tall. Then i ran into the issue of the radiator cap hitting. I had to shave into that black piece that goes across our engine bays. I didnt realize that the connections were wrong until the last thing to do was hook up the transmission lines haha i tried the home depot connections but it was leaking fluid and i ended up working the hose all the way onto the connection and buying special clamps to secure them on. i got it to work and im pretty happy so far but its not a simple swapping of parts.

 

I had those same problems.... I was still able to use the boots though, but it was a really tight fit.

I would keep an eye on your transmission lines. The threads on there will make the hose start leaking over time, I would think. I was able to keep it from leaking with some fittings and Teflon tape.

 

Ha I thought about that but I was so frustrated by that point I didn't want to take longer. Did u use any particular Teflon tape? cus since there's going to be hot transmission fluid pumping through it makes me nervous.

 

No, just the teflon tape from Home Depot. The transmission fluid shouldn't be much over 200 degrees F, so it won't be a problem. I've had it installed on my car for about 9 months now with no leaks.

 

Oh okay nice.yeah Im going to do it also then. The fittings I tried are the 1/4 in adapter. What size adapter/fitting did you use?

 

Hmmmmmmm...... This is making me lean to the koyo. But ams has a great deal too..... But I know lots who have had problems with the ams leaking at some point.
