6th Gen Radiator WITHOUT Trans lines
Hi All, hoping for some clarity on my radiator. Sprung a leak so I whipped it out and bought a new one, The problem is mine doesn't have the transmission lines (it has a separate cooler), and I can only find versions WITH the transmission lines.
The model is 2005 SL Automatic
When I search for the radiator using the part number on the radiator I removed, it brings up the version with the transmission lines and Nissan have told me they only make the radiator WITH the transmission lines. Pictures attached.
Any advice on where I might find one the same? Thank y'all !!!

Autos get a cooler in the radiator. Manuals do not. Nissan may not offer a rad without the internal cooler anymore. I would guess someone swapped radiators and added an aftermarket external cooler. The good thing is you wouldn't have to worry about the radiator failure where the 2 fluids mix and kill the trans.
Can you post a picture of the other trans cooler on the car?

That looks factory. You know, the more I think about it, maybe the 5AT does not have a cooler in the radiator. I've never actually seen a 5AT in person. The part number is
I wouldn't worry about the replacement rad having the cooler fittings. Just cap them off.

Ended up with the same issue, just ran a piece of hose between the two fittings that was tight enough to not hang down but had enough slack to move a little with pressure, hose clamped in place and have had exactly zero issues in the 4 months since installing it.
