Integra Radiator Replacement
Well, I posted a while ago about some problems with my 94 Integra overheating. I found that one of the fittings was cracked at the top of the radiator (damn plastic crap), and therefor coolant was leaking out from there. Motor is fine, everything else is OK...so, I got a new radiator and am gonna replace it.
Anybody with a 94-01 non-GSR Integra or Civic who can give me any advice for things to look out for, how to do this without breaking other parts, etc... would be greatly appreciated. This car has an auto tranny, and I've never changed out a radiator with an auto....so I'd REALLY appreciate any suggestions on how to handle the tranny cooling lines within the radiator (how to plug them up, what tools work best, etc.)
Step-by-step would be appreciated, but any help is great! Thanks!

Its not that hard. I had to replace mine about a year ago. I hope that you got a metal/alum radiator and not another plastic one. Its really easy. Just let the car cool over night. Drain the radiator from the bottom, remove the cooling fan/ac fan. There will be four bolts on the top of the radiator. Remove them and the holders. The radiator will pull right up. Just slide the new one in place and reverse everything. Take you time and don't get frustrated with it. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Thanks for the info, got the rad. swapped out without any problems. Got the car up and running fine. Now I'm experiencing other issues not associated with the radiator (car runs really sluggish once it warms up)... ugh
Thx again!
