I bought this from someone with some mounts. I'm putting an LS-VTEC in my CRX. It's a B18A block and B16A head with a B16 Y21 transmission.

The holes line up perfectly, however the bolts that thread into the transmission will not fit through the bracket's holes.

Any ideas?

 

if i understand you the bolts that fit into the tranny are 2 big to fit into mount bracket


this may sound too simple but um..... get a drill and a drill bit and open them suckers up

 

the bracket you have is for a cable trans. the hyrdo trans brackets is the same but they have larger diameter holes for the bolts. on my b16 swap i did just as what fenix409 suggested. i drilled them larger. works fine.

 

Yup, found out from someone yesterday the difference between the hydro/cable brackets.

Have a friend with a drill press, will have it taken care of

 

Drill drill drill! Good luck!

 

Yeah man I'am having the same issue, you have to drill with a 9/16th bit to fit the 19mm long *** bolt.

 

Yeah, screw a hand drill Took me an hour to widen the holes on my traction bar that didn't quite line up and that was only 3/8" thick.

 

i put it in a vise and did it with an electric drill..quite a few cusswords later it had it mounted to the trans lol

 

Took it to friend's classic craftsman/sears roebuck drill press. Used scraps to make the bracket sit even, and a clamp to hold it down.

Both holes perfectly bored out in less than 10 minutes

Thanks again.
