Yes. The front mount is from the manual. The issue is the mounting point on the frame rail is in a different location from manuals to auto. On the automatic they had to push the hole in the frame rail forward to make room for the bigger slush box.
So I either have to drill a new hole and weld in a blind nut because there is no hidden bolt there... Or I can add a spacer to use the same mount and simply expand it by the 50mm/2inches.
Some of the issues that I am working around are caused by the fact that the car was an auto AND a 4cylinder when it was born.
Was your car's front end sheet metal ever rebuilt?
