I replaced the engine in my 95 Civic hatchback automatic DX to a 95 Civic EX. Nothing wrong with that yet. The problem is with the transmission. Brilliant me decided to go with a tranny from a 2000 Civic EX that is also an automatic. It bolted up fine, but I can't find a top tranny mount that fits it and the engine bay. The bolts are about two inches apart on the 2000 transmission, but my original trans mount's holes are around 3 inches apart. I bought the 2000 Civic's trans mount, but it won't mount up to the car. Is there a model and year tranny mount that will connect the 95 hatchback's engine bay to the bolt pattern on a 2000 Civic EX automatic transmission?
If not, then will one bolt have enough strength to support the d16z6 without any NOS or turbo, just plain engine power? Or should I look into welding something up? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Weld something up...
