If you are still unsure email innovative or hasport.

If I were you though I'd get a hydraulic transmission. It is easier to deal with.

Also, due to the auto chassis, you may need a different mount than this one.

Search for auto to manual swaps... Your answers are there. You can either get a custom bracket for the tranny, or you can cut off the existing mount bracket to the body and reweld it.

You'll find an easier time looking for aftermarket support (like custom swap brackets) for hydro trannys.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, you'll need a d-series hydro tranny bracket. I believe the brackets from manual tranny's on Y7's and Y8's will work?

If it helps, I just swapped a B18B1 into a 97 hatch that had a D16Y7 and 5 speed tranny. I used the d series tranny bracket and transferred it to the b series tranny.

Just curious, what did you use on the other side? I used Yonaka d to b mounts, and also a CRV side post.

edit: I forgot you're using the cable tranny... sorry about that. in that case, the only option is a custom bracket! If you look up converting an ek to hydro tranny you will see what I mean - I've seen the bracket before, but it was too expensive for me. That's why I went hydro.

Sorry about that. I thought I had your answer for you - doing too many things at once today.
