About to buy an 06 offroad manual tranny but reading horror stories on transmissions failing because of radiator fluid leaking- does this problem only occur on automatics or on both manual transmissions and autos??

Thanks in advance for your answers! Sorry for the n00b question

Yes, only auto, as the ATF circulates through a portion of the radiator. No fluid circulating for the manual.

And really, this board is so sad that such a simple question has gone unanswered for 2 months?
