i have an auto s14 and i need to replace my radiator. my question is, is auto radiator different from manual? or it doesnt matter?

Hmm, shouldnt really matter. Unless those lines for the tranny fluid cooler is part of the radiator?

On most auto cars, the tranny cooler is usually the bottom few rows of the radiator. Therefore you would need a auto radiator. Never messed with an auto 240 but I'm betting it's the same setup.

Correct. The auto unit has the cooler, but you can buy a cheap add-on cooler and use a manual radiator.
