Anyone know of a difference here? The price difference is substantial on Rock Auto, probably mostly from the closeout pricing, but I didn't know there was a difference. If there is any difference, I can't see the automatic being any less powerful, since the trans cooler runs through the radiator.
At any rate, great price on replacement radiator fan motor here.

Maybe the connector is different? The harness of an automatic car has some differences compared to a manual car. In any case, easy enough to swap your original connector to the new fan motor . . . so I'd go cheap!
Mazdaspeed does list different cooling fan motors.

A/C condenser fan is the same part number for manual or auto.
Looks like it comes with loose wires, no connector. Interesting the two different parts with the auto more expensive.
I think i'll go cheap. Can't be any worse than mine, it's getting slow.
