Need help fast on engine mount

I am about to purchase a front motor mount for my 95 SE 5-speed but the seller listed the mount as automatic and said it's good for manual tranny as well. Could someone confirm that?
Thank you very much and waiting online.

iirc, front and rear motor mounts are the same for 5spd or auto. It's the tranny mount you need to worry about getting the right one with.

Thanks. Reason I asked is that I was looking at some other online stores that sells both and the automatic one is a $40 more expensive(maybe extra sensor or sth., I don't know). Well, as long as the automatic engine mount works in a 5-speed model, I am going for it.

The motor mounts are not the same with autos and manuals. The auto mounts are liquid-filled and are electronically controlled by the ECU

Errr...I did a search online as well and I may have been wrong. I don't know. Hold off till someone else chimes in here.

The motor mount for the a/t was much more expensive and had a different part # than the m/t.


Sorry about the misinformation!

But, as far as fit goes, they are interchangeable.

If I do put a auto engine mount into my 5 speed SE, would it be better, worse or equal to the correct replacement?
Someone please help...

You will never know the difference.

Nismology,
So does the auto engine mount has a sensor or connector with it as it's controlled by ECU? And if the auto engine mount is filled with liquid, does it work differently than our manual engine mount? Just curious.

If there is a sensor then you wouldn't hook it up to anything. You don't have anything to worry about. As Mzmtg said, you wouldn't notice a difference between the 2...besides the price.
