[SsdAccord]

yea going auto to manual...

my friend is having trouble mounting the transmission to fit flush with the brackets...

is there any technique in putting it in or i need additonal/extra/changed parts to put it in?

its been 3 weeks since i had my car!!

are you using the 5spd tranny mount?

and i believe the bracket has to be cut off and mounted up higher, but not quite positive...

there are two studs sticking out of the tranny case......u need to take them out and rethread the other two wholes in the tranny case and make it work. its really simple and everything will line up right to the manual tranny mount.

so i wouldnt need any welding right?(mounts or whatever) cuz my car is close to being done.. its just the tranny holding it up from finishin

Yes you do, like phatdoughnut said. Hit bustedlx on a PM, he'll tell you exactly what you have to do. I think he's doing one soon. He mentioned to me you have to cut and weld, if you don't your axle will pop out.

5speed mount bracket:

automatic mount bracket, notice the different shape.

you need to cut off the auto bracket and weld on a new 5spd bracket from the dealer, and you need the 5spd rubber mount:

ah fuk.. i thought this was bolt on

huy009 is doing this and i will be assisting...

i thought it was plug and play....

so we need to weld that fukking mount???

looks like the auto mount bracket is the same position, just higher up... and the manual tranny and its mount mount have the long studs that hold the mount to the tranny...

now for the million dollar question:

can you use small sections of pipe / stacks of washers to space out the tranny mount from the tranny, so the tranny will be low and in the correct position, while the mount is higher up, lined up with the auto mount bracket?

FAWKIN TRANNY MOUNT!........... must find a way....hummmm i guess its time to McGuyver somthing..... RoyGuybear... have any ideas?

my original plan was to get everything put together, with the mount sitting in place with the motor installed and running, and limp the car to the absolute closest place (not far down the road) and get it welded. i figure it would sit and hold some weight, while the rear mount would hold it from sliding forward or backward too much... although it sounds like my dad knows someone with a portable arc welder, may ask him to stop by and do a little welding for me instead
