PRODUCT DETAILS
Innovative Auto-to-Manual Transmission Mount - 94-97 Accord & 92-96 Prelude
This is a specific part for a specific job: converting an automatic Accord or Prelude to a manual transmission. When you swap from auto to manual, the transmission mount is different, and this Innovative mount is engineered for exactly that conversion. If you're doing an auto-to-manual swap on a 94-97 Accord or 92-96 Prelude, this is the mount that locates your new manual transmission properly. If you're not doing that conversion, this isn't the part you need.
Read This First: For Auto-To-Manual Swaps
The most important thing on this page, because it defines who this is for.
This mount is specifically for converting an automatic to a manual transmission, either an H-series auto-to-manual swap or a 94-01 F-series auto-to-manual swap. The automatic and manual transmissions mount differently, so a conversion needs the correct mount for the manual trans going in.
If you already have a manual car and just want a firmer mount, that's a different part. This is the piece that makes an auto-to-manual conversion mount up correctly. Confirm you're doing that swap before ordering.
Confirm Fitment — No Returns Once Installed
Critical, because this one has a hard no-return policy.
This mount cannot be returned once it's bolted in. That makes confirming fitment before install essential, double-check it against your exact chassis and your specific transmission conversion before you put a wrench on it.
It fits the 1994-1997 Honda Accord (CD/CE) and 1992-1996 Honda Prelude (BB), for H-series or 94-01 F-series auto-to-manual swaps. Match your chassis and your swap to that before ordering, since you're committed once it's installed.
Better Than The Factory Mount It Replaces
Where the performance benefit comes from.
This directly replaces the stock mount, and critically, it removes the fluid-filled dampening containers the OEM mounts use. Those factory hydraulic mounts are soft by design and let the drivetrain move, which on a performance car means vague response and drivetrain slop under load.
The Innovative mount uses solid polyurethane bushings instead, which locate the transmission far more firmly. That tightens up drivetrain response and reduces the movement the soft factory mount allowed, so power delivery and shifts feel more connected.
Built To Last
The construction backs the performance.
Innovative uses no-tear vibration-minimizing bushings, CAD/CAM designed for precise fit and stress-analyzed for strength. It's built to hold up to the loads a converted drivetrain puts through the mount, and it's backed by a lifetime warranty, which tells you how much confidence Innovative has in it.
Expect Some Added Vibration
Being straight about the tradeoff.
Because this locates the transmission more firmly than the soft, fluid-filled factory mount, you'll feel a little more engine vibration through the chassis. Innovative's bushings are formulated to absorb some of it, but a performance mount is stiffer than stock by design, so some increase is expected.
On a car you're building for driving response, that's a fair and usually welcome trade, more feedback and tighter response in exchange for a bit more NVH. It's the good kind of feel, not harshness.
Professional Installation Recommended
Given the no-return policy and the fact that it's part of a transmission conversion, this mount is designed with professional installation in mind. An auto-to-manual swap is involved work, and getting the mount right is part of getting the conversion right, so having it done professionally, or at least confirming your fitment carefully, protects you on a part you can't return.
Fitment
1994-1997 Honda Accord (CD/CE)
1992-1996 Honda Prelude (BB)
For H-series or 94-01 F-series auto-to-manual transmission swaps. Cannot be returned once installed, confirm fitment first.
Who Should Grab This
This is for the owner converting a 94-97 Accord or 92-96 Prelude from automatic to manual, who needs the correct mount to locate the manual transmission going in. It removes the soft fluid-filled factory dampening, firms up drivetrain response, and it's backed for life. Confirm your chassis and swap carefully since it's non-returnable once bolted, and get the conversion mounted right.
