I am helping a friend do a auto swap in his vr4 and what roll stop (front and rear) motor mounts do i need? can i use the ones off a 1gawd or a galant auto fwd?

from looking a asa the rear 1g and vr4 share the same part number so i believe it would use a 1g auto mount. the front is the only one in question now

NO.

The auto mounts are a rubber bar across the mount from each side of the spacer. The manual trans has a full circular web (same all the way round.)

I just looked a my race car and my Galant and thought of doing this just today. Can you post parts needed to make this happen.

I'm doing mine right now, I used the 5 speed starter and flex plate, I used all of the 5 speed motor mounts from a 1g AWD with the exception of the trans mount. This is the way I ran it in my 1g when I swapped it. As far as the mounts on the block, the only one you need to worry about is the front (344) all the rest are the same. I am using a stock 1g shifter. I put a shim in the pivot point of the shifter to take the side to side play out of it. I'm also using the stock 1g shift cables run in the same place as the 5 speed cables and Kiggly shifter mod. It's a pretty straight forward swap especially if you have a complete parts car to move parts over from. Now the only thing I need to find is a brake pedal assembly. the shell I got didn't have any in it. What year pedal assemblies will fit in a VR4? I want the single brake pedal and no clutch just to complete the look of an auto. Here is the car with the motor bolted in, you can't see too many details but it gives you the idea that it does sit in the bay correctly.

Yup the only mount that is any different is the trans mount. I can take a picture of mine tomorrow if anybody needs to know what it looks like.

I have an extra crank bushing if anyone needs it.

After I wire in my tcu I'll do a write up on it.

Please do this, like to see more tech/how-to's on the board!

Also, be sure to check the capacitors on that tcu board. They have the same craptastic caps they put in the ecu's but many of them didn;t get the same love the ecu's have, so their boards are damaged beyond repair ... only the folks running them don;t know it yet.

Bringing this back to the top, is there anybody here who has completed an auto swap in a vr4. If so what shifter are you running. I want a stock look if possible. Mine is really close to being done. All the hard work is done just need to tie up loose ends like the shifter. I guess worst case I'll use a ratchet shifter. There has to be at least a few that have been done.

I did the kiggly mod but will be adding a tcu in the near future. Thanks for the advise on the shifter. The dsm shifter is too tall.

how is the Kiggly mod?? and why are you gonna go with the TCU
