My '93 Honda Civic is an automatic.
Is there a danger of the transmission overheating with a grilleblock and bellypan ?
I ask because I am an idiot when it comes to knowing anything about cars, and I notice that there appears to be some tubing coming from the radiator going to the transmission. ( Please correct me if I am wrong. )
I did not know that an automatic transmission needed coolant from the radiator.
I'm worried that an automatic transmission might be more susceptible to heat than a manual transmission.

Thanks !
