Default Auto to 5 Speed swap

I have a 91 CRX with a B18B in it currently. I have almost everything needed to finish the swap over. I wanted to know if anyone knows if there is a difference in transmission mounts from auto to 5 speed. If there is, what do I need to fix it. OH, by the way, the transmission going in it is a rebuilt YS1 tranny. YAY for cable transmissions!

yea, theres a diff in mounting brackets.
I did this swap and didn't know til we tried mounting the tranny in and there was about a 1 1/2 in. gap between the tranny and the mount...

I don't have a crx, but I know on my EG there is a difference. What I did is I ground off the auto trans mount and ordered a 5 speed one from hondaautomotiveparts.com and welded it onto the frame.

It was $25, and it's really the best route. I wasn't going to spend $130 on a "5 speed tranny to auto frame mount", and I've heard that people HAVE hooked up 5 speed trannys ghetto style to the auto frame mount, but had wheel bearing issues.
