Difference between auto and manual tramission mount

I am thinking about these ebay $100 for 4 mount kits, some are specified for either manual or auto while some of them don`t.

After going through every single search result apparently the right side engine mount, front and rear mounts are interchangeable between auto and manual but I can not find anything about the transmission (left) mount.


Any inputs are appreciated

How exactly are they different? reason im asking, i just bought some and wanting to do this, i haven't dug into it yet and want to make sure before i go trough the trouble of removing it and it not fitting.

I see on autoparts stores websites them requesting auto or manual but some of the part numbers match up....

I think the difference actually has to do with the car being an SE/GLE automatic vs GXE/all 5spd's.

AUTOMATIC SE/GLE's use a motorized mount that is 4" in diamater.

GXE's and ALL 5spd's use a non motorized 3.5" mount.

The OP's referring to the mount on the transmission, not the crossmember.

Trans mount are different. They are both completly different bracket sizes and companies mess this up all the time because they think they are the same but they are not. All motor mount kits have the correct mounts but not trans mounts
