The transmission mount is farther back on the auto. If you replace the auto with a manual, you'll need to fabricate a new trans mount, or weld ears in the correct position on the frame for the manual trans. Mosy just construct a makeship mount.

yea seriously its not much work at all fabricating the mount that was the least of my worries during the swap.... so that said if your scared of putting together a mount than i wouldnt even try to tackle the job of switching to a manual tranny

The wiring is more complicated than the actual mount.
