Default b17 motor mount issue

well i was dropping the motor in tonight in me 94 civic the motor is b17 gsr motor. I have the L bracket on the back but it doesn't seem to mount up to my stock honda mount.. any questions on why?? or how i can fix it.. I have a motor mount from the integra also but it doesn't fit the bolt holes on my frame.

So the real questions is do i just need to play with it more to get it to fit?? or what am i doing wrong??
it was always raining and the sun had just set.... im not working in a garage so i had to stop....

Here is a picture of my setup before i put the trans back on it if anyone is interested.

Is this is going back in a '90 - '93 Integra or '94 - '01? Also which T/L bracket and transmission are you using?

You need a '94 - '01 T bracket.

Also, if I were you I'd get a '94 - '01 B-series transmission case and swap the guts over. Should cost less than a hydro to cable conversion kit and mount and it will actually work right.

Sell it, they're junk, all of them suffer from clutch release issues. You need a '94 - '01 T-bracket either way though.

I'd listen to this guy his info is right on the money the guts of the Gsr tranny are nice but those conversions don't hold up well better off saving yourself money down the line in replacing broken parts
