Try looking online for a FSM pic of it, I have a 88 book.

the 87-88 and 89+ mounts are different, so maybe you need later mount?

the tranny i got is supposed to be an 88 so is the mount. Guess i shall look at the FSM

samps

the turbo and non-turbo mounts are also different. So you must have an 88 non turbo mount and an 88 turbo tranny!

peeped FSM doesn't show, they all look the same, and on mazdatrix is has the same picture for all of em, 86-91

for some reason the non-turbo series 4 mount is the most expensive one. Turbo series 4 is $56. It is probably worth it to get a brand new one just so you don't need to worry about it latter. I'd even get the competition Y-block mount to prevent side to side motion while cornering. Clunks and clanks from the drivetrain do not inspire confidence!

the tranny mounts bolt to the tranny right?

The mount only attches to the tranny through a rubber bushing type thing. The Y-block does not attach to it at all. The tranny has a threaded stud sticking out of the bottom which goes through the rubber bushing in the mount. There is no direct contat between metal with the mount and tranny. My car has a manual swapped into an auto and it has a custom solid mount which translates alot of vibration to the shifter. It is strong though, and never needs replacement.
