Auto to 5spd: Transmission mount question
So I have all the parts for the 5spd swap (yeah!) but lookin at the mount that is welded on to the car, im wondering what are the main differences between the automatic transmission mount and the manual transmission mount. And are the placements different for where the mounts are welded?

try esp.net. I did my conversion using their custom trans mount and it was a bolt on with no mods and no cutting nor any welding. http://www.explicitspeedperformance.net/

Re: Auto to 5spd: Transmission mount question
do ya know how much it was?
Basically, I already have the manual transmission mount at my house ready to go, and I'm wondering about how different the mounts really are from auto to manual...
EDIT- its 275$ that's kinda outside the budget right now, I'm just wondering how far I can get with the mount I have now.

Here I’ll go into the problems and confusion with the 5spd swap engine and tranny mounts. Regardless, you need the 5spd tranny mount for your car.
The biggest concern for the mounts is that the engine does not sit straight or flat horizontally when you use the hole on the tranny bracket where the auto one went through. This makes the engine askew and will cause you to more likely break axles more often. The solution is a choice of two. 1) You can purchase the actual tranny bracket from Honda and unweld the auto one and reweld the 5spd one. 2) You can redrill a hole in the small dimple to the immediate up and left of the auto hole.
