hey guys i have a 97 civic lx automatic.my radiator is rotting out though.meaning the coils on the radiator are falling out.so my car overheats.can i use a radiator from a 92-95 civic?and does it have to be an auto radiator?or can i use one from a 5speed?thanks guys please help.

 

I think it has to be an auto because there are tubes that run from the auto tranny to the radiator for cooling. Check out www.radiators.com. They have quality radiators at a good price with a lifetime warranty.

 

ok but can i use an auto radiator from a 92-95 civic?

 

I don't know, never owned a 6th gen. But, I doubt it.

 

ive heard that they are all the same.even the del sol ones.they are better because dual core.but i need someone to confirm this though.

 

the dual cores are not the same. they have completely different mounting points.

 

ok can someone confirm that a 92-95 civic auto radiator would fit my 97 lx auto?

 

According to a lot of places that sell radiator for civics, it seems that they all fit throughout different generations.

 

Go to ebay and type in "Civic 92 radiator" under keywords. You'll see that there are radiators designed to work with 92-00 Civics. So-it-seems that it will work. Just make sure you get one that works for automatic, or BOTH.

If you get a used one, make sure there isn't a lot of hard water stains all over the radiator and the fan shroud. If it does have that white residue, you're getting a radiator that has seen it's share of overheating.

 

hey thanks guys i got someone with a 93 civic radiator an auto one.he wants 35 dollars.ill check for the stains.
