ok i have a 89 hatch and i got the old motor pulled out and now my d16y8 is ready to go in but im not sure what mounts i need. i dont have the y8 mounts but i can get them. and none of the stock mounts look like they are gonna work.. they dont fit on the motor. i know im gonna have to fab some for the tranny cuz im converting it to hydralic tranny, so do i just need the y8 ones? please help, i need to get this motor in. thanks!

 

hydrolic take alot of work : / , you should just use an si transmission.

 

the old ones wont fit on the y8. the bolts and holes do not match up..

 

if you were using a cable tranny you can use the mounts on old car

 

yea the tranny mounts would fit but not the motor mounts.. i have access to a machine shop. i am going to fab the tranny mounts.. its the motor ones that i need to fit. besides i like hydro trannys better. but i dont want to fab all the mounts so any help is greatly apreciated. thanks!

 

thats strange, i did my swap and it fitted.. oh you need to take off the timing cover and unbolt the bracket that the mount goes onto, thats what you need to do! so use old mount and old engine bracket.

what about the front and back mounts.. those dont look the same either.

 

You can't use the hydro tranny. Even if you make custom mounts, what are you going to use to make the clutch work? There is no place on the firewall for the clutch master cylinder. The clutch pedel won't hook up to it. The biggest question is why would you want to go through all this work? Just use a D-series cable tranny.

yea i can use the hydro tranny.. im gettin pedal/master cylinder out of a newer model civic and the slave is still on the trans. the master cylinder isnt very big and you can drill a hole in the firewall and make a mounting bracket. and the reason for going hydo? cuz i very much dislike cable trannys. its not that much work.


anyway.. back to topic.. why wont the front and back mounts off of my old d15 on my new d16y8? what do i need? thanks!
