i don't think it would. The cooler is a line that leaves the radiator and then returns too it. I wouldn't feel safe just capping it off.

It works, just leave the in and out lines for the AT fluid capped or open.

I have one in my manual car. The trans cooler is SEPARATELY integrated in to rad, as trans fluid is what flows through it NOT coolant. No need to cap it off either.

You summed it up pretty well. I'm waiting for Zubbie to get in here with a sticker.

Now I know, I'll take that plea.

It will work. All radiators have the trans cooler in them.

As already said, it will work just fine. I had one in my for quite sometime and I have an external cooler so I didn't use the built in cooler. I know have a radiator without it.
