94-01 integra gs, ls, rs auto mounts will work.

are you having problems with all the mounts or just the tranny mount.

he cut some of my fender well so the tranny can fit and he heated and bended the right wall of the engine bay and its still real tight but it looks like its sitting to high and thats why he had to bend the hood a lil so it wouldnt hit the valve cover

dude, straight up... if you had to bend frame rails and shit to fit it, the motor is NOT in the car right. you either have the wrong mounts, or they arne't seated properly.

the second you drive away, you're going to snap axles left and right.

despite what everyone here is saying, it is concievable that the frame rail and fender well needed to be modified.

I've converted a GSR to automatic and because the auto tranny is about 1 1/2" taller than the 5 speed tranny and about 1" longer some body fabrication was necessary.

When I did the conversion, I had to sledge the bottom of the frame rail in about 2" to fit and had to reposition the mount bracket (the bracket that's welded to the frame rail) about 1 1/2" back towards the firewall. Additionally, I had to modify the upper portion of the frame rail to allow the bracket to sit back about 1/2"

What you should do is bolt up ALL the other mounts and check your clearances.
If your tranny is clearing fine, then you should see how the INTEGRA tranny mount is lining up with the Civic bracket. I'm thinking that you may have to change the bracket. I haven't had a chance to compare a 5spd vs. auto civic brackets.

Call your local honda dealer and see if there are different part numbers for the tranny mount bracket between autos and 5spds. If a difference does exist, you may be able to modify the mount. If the brackets are the same you're going to have to change the bracket to an integra one. It isn't that hard.. just a bitch to form the frame rail right. (It took me about 5 hours with a sledge to get the form accurate).

Ive converted cars as well. You dont need to fab anything. You can shim the mount to get the necassary height adjustment.

additionally, just recently i got rid fo the shimmed mount for a custom piece made by camp1320.com.

OMG after reading this I feel like my EG's rail is useless. I did a B16 SIR-II swap with auto trans and i couldnt get a mount to fit so i used my D15B7 trans mount and cut some of it to fit in the holes and also curved the rail so the trans could sit in good. BUT! i wanna convert to manual now, what do i have to do so my manual mount would go in?

BTW- what car did the M24A trans come from and what auto mount would of fit if i didnt cut nothing.

You need this tranny side mount as I found out the automatic cars used a different mounting point on the car, thus the mount on the tranny is different than the manual version, here it is for $175. i had to get the same mount when i did my auto to manuel swap
