Confused about mounts for auto to manual swap

[Leung]

for the F tranny youll need the 5th gen accord/4th gen lude 5spd tranny mount I believe. I used it when I did the AT to MT swap

wasn't there a warning about doing it that way because of the usage of washers that eventually throw the axle off kilter?

SMseagren83 used a manual 5th gen Accord tranny mount and had to shim the drivers side mount to level it out.

ok fellas I did my homework today! LOL. I was at the J-yards all day today and I see that the bracket for a manual trans is flush to the inner fender as supose to the auto tranny bracket. the auto tranny bracket sits like 1-1/2 inch higher than the manual bracket. this explains why the engine wouldnt sit level and the possibility of breaking an axle. I have seen for my self the difference between brackets! So purchasing a manual mount bracket is nessesary. Also The manual bracket sits in the same place as the auto one. so cutting the auto off and welding the maunal on in the same place should do the trick. Well Im going to start this weekend. I will keep you posted on my progress! Once again thanks! Oh one more question. I read that you need 3/8 inch spacers for the mount on the drivers side. is that nessesary?

exactly. and the prelude mount is taller, which is why it helps make up for the difference.

you only need to add washers to the driver side if you use a prelude mount, since it isnt 100% perfect.

and id double check your measurement of the bracket location, the 5spd bracket is mounted further toward the front of the car, by an inch or so, but the exact measurement im not sure of.

I also believe that the only F series (90-93 Manual tranny) that can be tapped is from an EX.

Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Is this true?
