Hi all

Why do I have spacers in between the engine mount and the sub frame? about 10mm thick... one on each side.

I'm pretty sure it was never an automatic transmission sub frame. Is there something obvious that can identify if it is an auto sub frame?

Thanks

Front beam in an auto subframe is curved. All others are straight.
And if it was auto there are spare holes for the auto engine mounts.

Yep... definitely an auto sub frame with hydro as well... is that possible?

I thought the autos came a bit later and hydros weren't being done by then
