ok so i troll for alot of info, search like crazy but i cannot seem find any info on this.

i am doing a stock engine swap on a 96 max 5MT i bought. the engine i got was out of an auto. i swapped every motor mount except the right side (timing cover side) and i have the trans mount connected, the timing mount connected, and i had to work to get the front mount to line up. now the rear mount is way to low to get the bolt thru and the side mounts rubber is stretched to the maximum. ive swapped many motors and never run into this, to this extent, usually a little wiggle and it settles in fine. do i havta change the right mount to the manual one? everything ive read just says the front mount is different. im trying to avoid undoing the entire motor but i will tomorrow if i absolutely have to. any info? anyone run into this before?

and btw i have the FSM and i cant find info in there

thanks

 

You obviously have another issue here. The passenger side, front, and rear mounts are the same for both auto and manual engines. What's the condition of your radiator support? IS the crossmember bolted up all the way and not cross threaded?

 

thanks for the help. i did just undo all the mounts and reset it and now its sitting fine. kinda weird but w/e. i never even touched the subframe and the rad support is in really good shape considering. thanks for the help and she is now running
