The broken one is cracked, you need to take it to a radiator shop so they can check it and pressure test it.

New radiators are available from SNG Barratt, Merriam Jaguar Parts, etc, etc for around $850-$900

A good radiator shop should be able to recondition your existing radiator for less.

Took the car to one old mechanic i know he said i need to pull the radiator and see if its repareable but he said that's easy part what worried him is the transmission hopefully the water didn't reach there.

Update the radiator is fixable. There might be a leak from the engine oil cooler.

There's little amount of water inside the transmission cooler lines he said its not that much but i need to drop the transmission pan and see if there's too much water or no. In best cases will do transmission flush through the lines then new fluid and filter with some hope.
