are the rear tranny mount points the same for auto and manual? im talking about where the rear mount bolts to the floor of the car.

On Coupes : NO



Auto Mounts are located forward of the man maounts



On Some S5 verts they had both mounts, why? who knows?

Shane.Trammell

well it would be nice if mine had both. ill have to check it out. does it look the same as the mouting point for the auto?

Soory, my memory was shot, MAnaula mount is forward of the Auto mount. Here is a pic of my car when I welded the manual mounts in.

yeah i figured it was in front. how much work is the swap all together?? i talked to rp and they said they stopped doing it bc its a lot of work and even more than the fd swap. which sounds like bs to me

Did it in a weekend. Hardest part was lifting the carpet up to keep it from igniting, and swapping out the pedal cluster.



Drop the steering column to install



Highlights. Dont forget a T/O Bearing



Use new mounts and clutch line.



Make sure you get an NA driveshaft

are the mounts for the auto and manual the same? i mean the crossmemeber part. and was your carpet igniting bc you were welding under it?

banzaitoyota

No the mounts are not the same. Yes, the sounddeading material under the carpet is very flammable. I lifted the edge of the carpet. slid in a 2x4 to raise the carpet off the floor. After a short weld. I blasted a shot of CO2 under the carpet to cool it off

Shane.Trammell

hmm, if the manual mount point is there i wont need to do any welding will i?
