Do I need to flush my cooling system before installing this radiator?

Flush your system before install to remove sediment and old coolant. Fresh coolant helps your new radiator perform at peak efficiency and extends its life.

Will this radiator work if I've already swapped to an automatic transmission?

Yes. This radiator is engineered for both setups, so transmission swaps or changes won't affect compatibility or cooling performance.

What do I need to reconnect this radiator after removal of the old one?

You'll reuse your existing hoses, clamps, and thermostat housing from the old radiator. If hoses show age or cracks, replace them while you're in there.
