Well my friend has had his b16 in his DA for about a year now, and the motor had always sat crooked..leaning. The shop that did it said they didnt have the right mounts made yet for b16 in a DA so in order for the motor to sit straight he would have to use washers??!! Sorry but that sounds super ghetto to me... He has been having axle problems and I think this is why..what mounts is he suppose to have and could this be causing the axle problem too?? thanks

here's a pic...
(i have no idea what mounts they used)

 

are u suppose to use the mounts that were off from the da anyway? da came stock b series and i don't see why you cant use the oringal mounts.

 

u should be able to use the stock mounts that came with the OG motor. However the cable tranny is different form the hydro tranny, and that could be your problem.

exactly. its already got a B series.. you use the same mounts. The shop that did that are friggin idiots.

 

yeh, sorta weird lookin sittin like that. oil level will never be right lol

 

yea it has a cable tranny...it the xsi motor..hmm

 

also could this be causing the axle problem?

 

might just be tranny mounts from an automatic, was your car previously an auto and coverted to manual?

 

funny that you say that...yes it was auto....(friends car, forgot about that)

 

then the tranny mount is different.

 

And to answer your question, yes this will definitely cause the axles problem. Get a 5 speed tranny mount. Also please don't take it back to that shop. Any shop "should" know that this will cause problem to the car.

 

oo i didn't take it to the shop...my friend lives in CA and i live in OR...but thanks for the help when i see him we are going to put in the new mount

 

sorry to bring this thread back but.. I am in the middle of an ls swap with a gsr hydro tranny into my 92 hatch. I bought innovative mounts for a 92-95 with hydro b series swap. I just got the mounts bolted up and it is sitting the same way as the picture above. I did a VIN # check and my car has always been a manual car. Was i sent an automatic passenger side mount?

 

A friend once told that auto and manuel chasis have different mounting points on the tranny side. So even with the 5sp mounts, it will still sit even.

LOL WTF

and this was installed by a "shop"?

F that noise....i'd be posting this on ALL automotive sites to let everyone know what a crap job this "shop" does

 

get a hold of hasport they have a Manual conversion mount for AUTO cars that have manual transmission on it so you don't have to move the existing mount

heres one but its for an 92-95 civic/94-01 integra

i have to agree with the above answers, the b16 is a direct bolt in for the da. that shop expletiveed up, oh, btw, this thread is from like a year ago guys.

 

hes having axle problems cuz the motor is leaning to one side and that putting pressure on one axle i had the same problem with my e.g

 

THE BACK MOUNT FOR AUTOMATIC DAS ARE DIFFERENT THEN MANUAL DAS GET A MANUAL BACK MOUNT ASAP!!!! MIGHT CAUSE SOME PROBLEMS LIKE THAT

 

the tranny mount needs to changed

 

use the same mounts from the da

 

Looks like every one checks post dates, eh?
