I'm trying to finish putting in my becool radiator, its been a PITA, I've had to cut all the hoses since it sits back further, and now I can't get the radiator shroud on. (the plastic piece on the top that holds the radiator towards the front of the car) I tried drilling new holes since it won't line up with the old ones, its off 3/4 of an inch, but the problem with that is the intake won't fit now, it sits too high to let the hood close and won't let the tube go into the filter either. The condensor is hitting the front of the car, so the radiator won't go any farther forward. I need some ideas on how to get this to fit.

 

Are you for sure its the right one for your car?

 

Since that is the one recommended by Be Cool for a manual tranny, did you look in the box that it came in for any information on instruction sheets?

I know the Be Cool radiator has similar dimensions for both manual and automatic but does the OEM? and could the problem lie in that you are putting a manual radiator(with no cooler) in a car that originally had an OEM radiator for an automatic?

Call the Be Cool hotline at 888-243-2999.

 

The only difference with the radiators is the transmission cooler lines that go through it, atleast thats all that I know of. I just had to file out some of my radiator shroud and take out the insulation on the bottom of my hood, now it atleast closes.
