I think either way, you'll need to get under your car and see/confirm if there are lines coming out of it.


Theoretically the FR-S/BRZ should have a line leading into the radiator for the automatic transmissions. This helps the transmission fluid get to operating temperatures as well as ensure that it stays in the operating temperature range.


However... When doing a quick research, I searched for the Koyo radiator. It SEEMS like there is no difference between the manual transmission radiator and automatic radiator. Which could mean a couple things.

1. The AT fluid is not ran through the radiator at all.
2. The MT fluid is also ran through the radiator.

From my own knoledge this was the difference between the automatic transmission tC1 vs. the manual transmission tC1.

What this could mean is that the transmission is a sealed unit. Or it could mean that TRD or w/e is going to develop their own transmission oil cooler. No idea.

Best way to check... is to get under the car and see if there are any lines running out of the transmission.
