radiator leaks in manual transmisson?

Postby roy-j69 » Thu May 18, 2017 5:16 am

g'day everyone,
im in Australia and looking to buy my "first" car (have owned a Suzuki vitara but I used it as a rock racer).
im doing the research on the pathys but im a little confused if the set ups are the same (integral oil cooler) for the manual as they are for the auto?
do both have the same problems?
anything else to consider other then the radiator leaks when buying one of these vehicles?
thanks for the help

We don't have a manual transmission option for the R51 Pathfinder in North America, but we do for the same year Xterras. Manual transmission fluid isn't usually routed through the radiator for cooling as is done with automatic transmission fluid.
