So today I dropped my car off to have the 90K mile service done and I asked them to take a look at the belt bacause they've started to make some noise. I had when I ask dealers to take a look at stuff, but anyways, I got the call that the reason the belts are making noise is because the radiator is leaking coolant and it's getting on the belts. They wanted $750 to put a new radiator in and $170 for the belts! I'm going to be the belts replaced when I take care of the radiator, I'm just not paying $750 for one!!! So, I've been searching old threads here today to see which are good options for my 05 A/T coupe, but I'm still not sure which one to get. I keep seeing the Koyo 2588 but when I find it online it says it's for the m/t, not auto, guess it doesn't have the transmission cooler. The Mishi I've heard has fitment issues so I don't know which one to go with. Any recommendations, links?

 

Get the Koyo and just add a large trans cooler.

 

I have a KOYO radiator and I'm 5 A/T.

The A2588 from KOYO is for 5 A/T's.

The V2588 from KOYO is for MT's, and I believe it's all aluminum.

I heard from a friend that Silencer O has the V2588 on his 5 A/T. So, you can use the V2588 on a 5 A/T if you really want to.

 

KOYORAD a2258 is for AT , V series is for MT , difference is the transmission cooler lines.

 

Thanks!! Koyo it is then!

 

Where did you find the A2258 radiator? I need one and am only finding sketchy websites.

 

I have an auto rad in my 6mt. The only diff is the cooler as mentioned above. It takes the bottom bit of the rad, but I just left mine alone since they can't be used on 6mt anyway.

 

I ended up getting the radiator through Real Auto Dynamics here in NY and also had them install it.

 

I'm guessin you didn't pay the Stealership price of $750= either!

Of course not!
The funny thing is that I got the radiator, belts and hoses installed for less than the $750 the dealership wanted just for the radiator! That pretty much did for me as far as taking my car back to the dealership. Plus, whenever I go to Real Auto I get to see some nicely modded Gs and Zs!

 

Whats the advantage of me buying a mishimoto radiator if my stock one is fine. Is it worth the price and bleeding headache?
