Default b20 in eg, mounting problems

ok so i got a b20 with gsr trans and i cant get it to sit in the engine bay level. the trans side if ike half a inch to a inch higher. any ideas would be helpful. could it maybe be my mounts. using b20 bracket with d series mount on driver side with the gsr mount on the trans. thought maybe using d series bracket on trans but there the same. any ideas?

its the driver side mount, u have to use any other b series mount then the b20, the one that has the 2 studs in it that bolts to the block, on some crvs the block sits lower cause of the intake mainfold

I don't know if that CR-V T bracket works in a civic, '94 - '01 integra will though, other than that, was the car an automatic? the stock automatic pocket mount is angled up and will cause the transmission side to sit up to high.

Yes, but was the car an automatic to start with? The passenger's side pocket mount, the one thats welded to the frame is angled up, and must be replaced with the manual version or you can get a conversion mount from hasport (other companies make them as well) thats essentially a modified upper transmission mount

You can use an LS mount, but I don't know that it will make a difference.
