motor mounts

[bronxbombr]

When I was doing my 5 speed swap,i notice that the front motor mount from a 5speed is smaller than the ones from the automatic tranny,Why?someone know why??

I just changed it and put the automatic tranny motor mount on the 5 speed tranny,and also i saw that the automatic tranny perch,at the back of the tranny,is different.
So i cut it and just let the perch hold on 2 bolt one the gearbox instead of 3.
Now my engine is not too tight.

I have the front and rear 5spd mounts new. Why you cut the perches is beyond me.

yeah, i dont konw what you did, can't really understand, but the automatic motor mount is bigger, i assume, because the automatic is heavier? i dont know, but the 5spd one is about half the size as you've already discovered....

The rear tranny perch,when i bougth my gearbox it didn't came with with it,
i uses the one of the automatic tranny,it didn't fit,i made new holes in it,so it can bolt on
the gearbox,but it hold on only 2 bolt to the gearbox instead of 3,the 3rd i have to weld
a piece of metal on it.
I don't know if that causes that my engine is not stiff

lol doesnt mean other members arent still needing help, we are still on topic ;)

Micro: Its probably fine for now but try to get a rear perch from a 5spd gearbox. With only being bolted up with two bolts, theres a chance the mount may break.

And it will break over and over again till it is corrected.

Junkyard, Mitsu dealer, Stolen G, you do the math. I have the mounts but not sure about the perches.
