HELP: 90 integra > auto to manual trans. conversion problems
 

ok so heres the run down....

i got a 90 teg for 250 bux, hella clean blown motor automatic. so i was like the hell with it if imma buy a new motor im sure as hell not driving an automatic, so i put the manual trans on my spanking pretty new b18b :) drop it it and its hard as hell to get the passenger side trans mount in after about 30 minutes of stuggling i get it in.. mind you the rear and the pass. trans mount are from a manual integra and i swapped over the auto bracket from the engine and the mount, i called the dealer they said that the engine mount is the same for autos and manuals which im wondering is the bracket that bolts inside the timing cover differnt ?

im hoping someone here has done this swap.....

oh yeah the problem is my engine is not flush straight, its like sitting on a down hill slope from the middle downhill to the drivers mount..... what the hell did i do wrong? )=-

please only respond if you have changed it over or know the facts thanks! :)

yes, the B18A and B18B motors do have different timing belt mounts. I would assume that they do mount the motor in the exact same way between the different body style's though. Sorry man but best of wishes. PS the mounts shouldnt be that hard to get in to place ???

thanks guys for trying to help. i found a buncha stuff on g2ic (gen 2 integra club) i had to shim the mounts on the trans side and now its straight as a whistle. :) if anyone plans to do this conversion i suggest not, its been a headache :)
