Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ TYC 2273: Premium Replacement Radiator for HONDA Civic โ€“ Plastic Aluminum, Black by Todd Markel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

1997 Honda Civic LX with Perfect Fit Manual Transmission

Fits my Civic perfectly, although the manufacturer says it will not fit a manual transmission, the only difference is the fittings and passageways in the lower tank. Developed for cooling lines of automatic transmissions. Actual cooler size is the same for automatic and manual transmissions. As a mechanic I have found that most aftermarket manufacturers only make the style of car that fits and can be used in any application. Plus, for a mechanic, this Revain part was cheaper than my local parts supplier could offer and with free 2-day prime shipping! The radiator was installed within a week in around 90-100 degree weather with the air conditioning on high and no problems. A complaint about the old cap not working did not apply to my setup, my old Honda cap fitted fine. However, I decided to replace the cover with a new one anyway. Every time I replace a cooler I also replace the cap, whatever caused the cooler to fail (overheating, over pressure etc.) chances are the cap was damaged as well. Just my opinion, but it's only a fraction of $5-10 anyway.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • so far so good
