alright well iam having a bit of a problem. i put prothane mounts in my 1g auto, i made sleeves to make the front a rear mounts work right. but now my problem is i can get both side mounts and the rear to line up, but the front mount is way off. any auto guys wanna help me out here. is there a certain way the bushings go in the mounts maybe i dont know. any help would be awsome havent drove my car in six months gettin kinda anxious:D
 
yea it would be nice for us auto guys that dont like broken factory mounts if they came out with somthing. thanks for the link i tryed searching but didnt find that thread for some reason. haha that is my thread for the bushing not fitting in the mounts. i fixed that by machinging a sleeve that took up the gap between the prothane bushing and the factory mount. but now i cant get the mounts on the motor to line up with those mounts. they are only like 1/4" off.
 
I ended up with three Prothane mounts and one OE mount in my 1998 2.3L auto.
No wheel hop even with the wheel hard over on throttle down, and clean shifts at 7000 RPM without upsetting the chassis. Good enough for an old guy.
