My car is a 93 Talon TSi. Originally had an auto trans, working on finally finishing up the swap to manual. I ran into an issue with my rear engine mount bolt holes not lining up with the subframe. Its an Anchor 8105. Not sure if I'm missing something or maybe its just a bad/cheap mount. Any ideas?

Got the new mount from rock auto. Looks like I will be window welding my old mount.

Anchor 8105 (AWD Manual) and Anchor 8104 (AWD Auto) appear to be the same mount. Both are wrong, way too tall.

I thought if anyone would be able to get it, it would be Napa. Well I tried ;)
 
Your pictures helped a lot! My old mount looks like the right one. Not sure if the previous owner installed the manual one already or if the stock auto one is basically the same. The car was full of mismatched mounts/brackets.
 
So in one of my less brilliant moves, I ordered an Anchor 8105 for my 90 gsx. It is the one they list for AWD model, but I should have reread some of these posts about how it's the wrong one. What's even dumber is that I already have one of these new 8105 mounts which I got from another member who also said it was for an AWD. It's not expensive (like $15 including shipping) which means probably not worth returning. I removed the mount that's in the car today, and it's not too bad a shape. I did get the correct OEM-style front roll stopper (and that original also was not in bad shape, but what the hell), so will keep this rear rubber one. I did notice the part number that is formed into the rubber is MB309269. I've not read that in any of the discussions, so thought it was worth reporting. The part number for the whole mount is supposed to be MB436495, though I can't find that number on the mount (which isn't that unusual; many parts aren't stamped with number). Not sure this will help anyone, since the stupid thing is NLA, but for posterity I guess. Or if you find one at a swap meet, etc.
OK, that's it.
