SHhhh!!!

Trust me do it the right way. My buddy has a crx and the owner before him did a ghetto swap with a LS motor where he welded in the d series mounts and he is popping axles hear and there due to improper axle angle(alignment). It puts to much stress on the axles and the bearings explode, shoot through the boot, and leave you stranded unless you have LSD

you have to move the tranny mount towards the front of the car on the frame its farely easy

you can do it that way, but get a mount kit instead takes a lot of the guess work out. i did it first by moving my mount and the guy who did it did not know what he was doing and i had alignment issues which caused my motor to be crooked and sit high which caused my valve cover to hit the hood. i then got a factory mount from honda had it rewelded in the stock location and installed a hasport mount kit. shifting sucked cause of the mis alignment and a cut and welded shift linkage. i also then installed a jdm hasport replica shift linkage. after all this my problems were gone and shifting is sweet. so to makle a long story short "too late for that now " do it right the first time and save yourself a lot of headaches and money in the long run. if you dead set on doing the cut and weld method i have the left right and rear 90-93 teg mounts you would need to do so.
