Will this radiator work with my existing hose setup?

Yes. This radiator uses factory connection points and hose routing — your existing upper and lower hoses connect directly without adapters or modifications.

Do I need to flush the cooling system before installing this?

Flushing is recommended before installation to remove sediment and debris from the old system, especially if the previous radiator failed due to blockage. Fresh coolant will help the new radiator perform at full capacity.

What happens if I install this on a manual transmission model by mistake?

This radiator is engineered specifically for automatic transmission cooling — the integrated transmission cooler circuit won't function on manual models. Verify your transmission type before ordering.
