Rio Trans into Aspire

[nitrofarm]

I'm not sure how much the mounts will compress with the B3. I'd assume less than a half inch. It really depends on the mount that's being used. They normally compress about 1/4" when new, and less when they are used.

Thanks Charlie, I'm applying upward pressure on the lower mounts before tacking them in.

Does the Rio have a crossmember like our cars that bolts up the same way? Like how Festiva and Aspire crossmembers interchange. Might make mounting the trans much easier.

Absolutely not, unfortunately Thats the first thing I debated,the Rio spreads out the rear mount points way to much.
