Is that a stock booster? Looks bigger than normal in the pic. The gearbox mount you have looks like the standard one as far as I can remember. That is unless it is bent?

Things I'd check would be is the motor and box about centred in the 2 side engine mounts? You know how you can shunt the the engine-gearbox left or right about 10mm total. Either way though, the 5 speed will always finish very close to the panel on that side of the bay.

Have you got the round gearbox mount pressed in the correct way? There should be an arrow mark on the rubber somewhere to indicate up. This is up, once the weight of the gearbox in on this the location of the hole will move up (or the rest will be pulled down)



If you look at the cam cover of your engine, does it visually look pretty parallel to the front radiator support panel of the car? It should. You should only check this once the front and rear mounts are installed as the engine and gearbox will kind of twist on a different axis when they're just hanging by the 2 end mounts at the engine and gearbox ends. Actually, I wouldn't even worry about the location of the gear selector until all 4 mounts are in.
