Hi all:
I have a 2005 Manual 6-speed Vibe GT. I replaced my starter last week and noticed my radiator needed to be replaced. After researching prices I bought one online. When I removed the old radiator I noticed that it was different than my new one. The new one has two metal tubes on the radiator that I assume are to attach transmission coolant lines for the automatic transmission models. I went back and tried to find a replacement without the transmission line connectors and couldn't. My local auto parts stores say that it is the only one available.
Should I just install the new one and leave the caps on those tubes unconnected to anything? Will that cause any future problems?

Re: Replacement Radiator
You can just cap them, it should be perfectly fine. MWR sells a 2-row radiator for manuals for $149 or so.
