Now all they have to make is a poly replacment for the hydraulic manual trans mount.

When mine went bad, I took an auto poly mount and a peice of aluminum and made an adapter that allows me to use the auto mount. It's not perfect and I had to shim the crossmember down to fit, but it works.

I have the automatic one, on a manual. No special brackets, no custom anything. It bolted right up and "presto" it fit, works n all that good shizzle.

I had to shim my crossmember down 1/4" and make an aluminum brace for it. I think the reason I had to shim down is because I have the brace above the crossmember, that way I don't have to worry about it bending under load as much. I'll see if I can get my car into the air here at work today or tomorrow and take a picture so you guys can see what I'm talking about.

I had the same mount you do... has the 2 rubber 'bushings' with a 2nd bar on top of the first....

Just pitch that thing as far as you can, and get one of the automatic crossmembers. I paid like $5 at the junkyard for it!
