[defjamon22z]

i search. doing my auto=manual swap. what motor mount is recommend? i know the 5th gen tranny mount is best! but what about rear? front? driver side? i will b going to the junkyard to pull these part out i just wanna know which is best

[defjamon22z]

anybody?

[blackcb7]

u can reuse all the other mounts, just pick up that 5th gen tranny mount and you will be set,

pick up accord ones if urs are in bad conditon

also people seem to swap the hydraulic rear motor mount for an lx motor mounts, don't know if u have and ex

^^^What he said. FYI, the torque mount from a manual trans 90-93 is supposedly more rigid than the one from an automatic so if it's possible, i would pick up one of those if the condition is good.

[defjamon22z]

aiight cuz the auto-manual thread showing u gotta get the front,rear, and tranny mount. i'ma pull the front tranny mount too just in case. the reason i'm going to the junk mostly cuz i need a intermediate shaft. they dont sell it at the store. but thanks on the head up for the mount. i dunno if my car is a lx or ex. the only way i could tell is if it got dual muffler pipe and dual downpipe i think?

Easy way is if you have a Sunroof then u have an EX

The only other two best ways of telling are by looking at which motor you have.

And the only real definitive way is the VIN

keep your driver side mount. get the 5spd front one if you want, but the auto one works, just a tad softer. you can also opt for an DX/LX 5spd rear mount and bracket, its shorter and more solid.

as for the transmission mount:

if youre planning to use a 5spd tranny from a 90-93 accord DX/LX (with 3 stud spots on top): you need the stock 5spd tranny mount and you will need to cut the bracket off of the side of the engine bay, buy the new 5spd bracket from the dealership, and have it welded on (in the proper location)

if youre planning to use a 5spd tranny from a 92-93 accord EX, 94-97 accord, or 92-01 prelude (with 5 stud spots on top): the best choice is the ESP mount listed below, but if you need to rig it for free using available OEM parts, you need to use a 94-97 accord or 92-96 prelude 5spd tranny mount. you will also need to stack washers 3/8" tall on the studs for the DRIVER side mount, so it sits up a bit higher. itll be a tight horizontal squeeze and youll need to jack the motor up a bit to get the front mount in, because the motor sits slightly lower in the bay. it should work perfectly fine and will not require welding, but some people say it causes problems in CBs that are lowered too much.

also: the only aftermarket conversion option as of yet is an ExplicitSpeedPerformance custom 5spd mount kit. note that it will only work on these transmissions that use a prelude/5g stud pattern, as well as a 5spd LX/DX rear motor mount bracket.

i had the same problem it just depends on the tranny your going to use

[defjamon22z]

dawg.. if i would knew this before. i would never have gotten the manual swap just cuz of that wut cpmike said... i'm really depressed that i already took so much shit out and bought so much shit for the swap and the motor mount is gonna piss me off. dam i shoulda left it. sigh... well.. i dunno what kinda 5speed tranny i have. all i know is it's sittin on my grass waittin to get installed. at this point i already got the driver side axles and all that shit out. dam man..

[defjamon22z]

okay.. i dont have a ex.. cuz i dont have sunroof.. i dunno if my tranny from a LX or EX.. i bought it from jarhead from here. and i dun think he knows either.. the tranny has a number on it.. says..

H2U5-7031847

another number says

NPT6-A3..

anybody knows if this a EX or LX DX tranny? i pray it's an EX. i dont wanna go thru welding process or i'ma sell the freakin car cuz i aint gonna start puttin all that auto shit back i'm mad tired already doing this by myself.

[Davids92Accord]

yea same here defjamon22z i have everything for the swap but as soon as i found out about the tranny mount i as like fuckkk i thought i was gonna have it done this weekend but i didnt oh well im gonna see if i can find a shop that can weld one together cause i know someone who has a custom motor mount to make it fit in perfect and hes gonna let me borrow it so i can show the shop how i want it and they can make it if you want ill let you know when i found a shop to do it and how much and all you got to do is pay for it and the shipping

[defjamon22z]

[defjamon22z]
