Does this radiator work with my manual transmission model?

This radiator is engineered specifically for automatic transmission cooling. Manual transmission models use a different radiator design without the integrated cooler circuit — verify your transmission type before ordering.

Will I need new hoses or clamps to install this?

Factory hoses and clamps bolt up directly. If your original hoses show cracks or seepage, replacing them at install time is smart practice — no special sizes required beyond what your vehicle originally used.

What's the difference between this and an aftermarket radiator?

This is built to Honda's original thermal design and pressure specs. Aftermarket options vary in core density and cooler capacity — OEM guarantees you get the exact cooling performance your engine and transmission were tuned for.
