work to convert a 96-98 jdm sir civic with a b16a from auto(non cvt) to manual??

 

you don't need a conversion mount. you just need a mount off a manual car.

 

hmm, I've read that the stock manual mount sits lower than the auto one

 

You don't need (nor is one available) an auto to manual swap mount for a '96 - '00 Civic. All you need is the upper trans bracket from any '96 - '00 5 speed civic and ideally the upper and rear trans mounts (both of the rubber mounts have the same dimensions as the automatic versions, but the manual versions are stronger) '92 - '95 Civics/'94 - '01 Integras do require a special swap mount, but it's because the bracket is welded to the frame on those cars.

 

hmmm, well i was doing some more research and came across this

"Very important
The automatic body of the car that you have will have a different transmission bracket off the frame than the manual 5th gen body, I'm sure the 6th gens don't have this problem b/c of the same type of bolt on mount that goes on the frame, but if you are doing a 5th gen auto to manual, then you can buy an AVID auto-manual mount which is a solid mount that goes up to the higher bracket, Hasport makes one also, You can get the mounts off of ebay for about $135-$175. Your other option is to drill out the spot welds out and then chisle off the bracket from the car, do the same to a manual car, clean up the parts and prep them for welding with bare metal, then following up with weld though primer, then weld the spot welds, clean them up, bare metal primer, primer surfacer, scuff, prep and paint, or you could just buy a mount and call it a day. the manual mount from the manual car WILL NOT work on the automatic car b/c it won't reach the higher bracket."

It tells you exactly what I told you. It's needed for a 5th gen, but not a 6th gen.

I've done a few auto to manual swaps. You can't use an auto to manual mount on a '96 - '00 Civic.

 

Aye thks for the advice again 94EG8
