Upgrade your Honda AWD K-swap drivetrain with the Innovative Mounts AWD K-Series Rear Transmission Mount (103830), designed for 1991–2000 Honda Civic and 1993–1997 Honda Del Sol applications being converted to all-wheel drive using a compatible Honda CR-V or Element K-series manual transmission.

Engineered specifically for performance-oriented AWD conversions, this heavy-duty rear transmission mount provides the strength, durability, and precise drivetrain positioning needed to support a K-series engine and AWD transmission in an older Honda chassis.

Converting a front-wheel-drive Civic or Del Sol to all-wheel drive requires more than simply installing a compatible transmission. Proper drivetrain alignment and secure mounting are essential for maintaining clearance, reducing unwanted movement, and supporting the additional drivetrain components associated with an AWD conversion.

The Innovative Mounts 103830 addresses these requirements with a high-strength hardened steel mounting design engineered to position the transmission correctly within the chassis. Its rigid construction and polyurethane bushing system help minimize excessive drivetrain movement during acceleration, deceleration, and aggressive shifting.

Unlike universal fabrication solutions, this mount is specifically developed for compatible K-series AWD transmission conversions. It is designed to work with the manual AWD transmissions found in the 2002–2006 Honda CR-V and 2004–2010 Honda Element, providing an application-specific mounting solution for enthusiasts building AWD K20 and K24-powered Civics.

Manufactured using CAD/CAM design and stress analysis, the Innovative Mounts 103830 features durable construction, precise fitment, and multiple polyurethane bushing hardness options to accommodate street-driven performance vehicles and dedicated racing applications.

Whether you're building a turbocharged AWD Civic hatchback, converting an EG Civic to K24 power, or preparing a sixth-generation Civic for drag racing, the Innovative Mounts 103830 rear transmission mount provides a dependable foundation for your AWD drivetrain conversion.

Installation Notes

1. Verify Vehicle Compatibility: Confirm that the vehicle is a compatible 1991–2000 Honda Civic or 1993–1997 Honda Del Sol being converted to AWD with a K-series engine.

2. Confirm Transmission Compatibility: This mount is designed specifically for compatible 2002–2006 Honda CR-V or 2004–2010 Honda Element K-series manual AWD transmissions.

3. Do Not Use With FWD Transmissions: Standard RSX, Civic Si, and TSX FWD manual transmissions do not share the required mounting configuration.

4. Select the Correct Sub-Bracket: The appropriate chassis-specific sub-bracket is required for installation. Innovative Mounts specifies 90130-SB for EK applications and 90031-SB for EG/EJ applications.

5. Support the Engine and Transmission: Properly support the drivetrain before removing existing mounts or installing the conversion components.

6. Inspect Chassis Mounting Locations: Check the mounting points, surrounding chassis structure, and existing brackets for damage, corrosion, or previous modifications.

7. Install the Required Sub-Bracket: Position the appropriate Innovative Mounts sub-bracket according to the manufacturer's instructions.

8. Install the Rear Transmission Mount: Attach the Innovative Mounts 103830 mount to the compatible AWD transmission and chassis-specific sub-bracket, ensuring correct orientation.

9. Verify Drivetrain Alignment: Confirm that the engine and transmission are properly positioned before final tightening to prevent unnecessary mount preload or drivetrain binding.

10. Inspect AWD Drivetrain Clearance: Verify clearance around the transmission, transfer assembly, driveshaft routing, exhaust components, and surrounding chassis structure.

11. Torque Mounting Hardware: Tighten all hardware according to the applicable Honda and Innovative Mounts specifications.

12. Select the Appropriate Bushing Hardness: Choose the polyurethane durometer that best matches the vehicle's horsepower level, intended use, and acceptable vibration.

13. Expect Increased Vibration: Performance polyurethane mounts generally transmit more engine vibration into the chassis than factory rubber mounts. Higher-durometer bushings typically increase vibration further.

14. Complete the AWD Conversion Properly: This rear transmission mount is only one component of a complete AWD conversion. Additional engine mounts, axles, driveshaft components, rear differential mounting, suspension modifications, and fabrication may be necessary.

15. Inspect After Installation: Recheck mounting hardware, drivetrain alignment, and surrounding clearances after the initial driving period.

16. Professional Installation Recommended: Installation by an experienced Honda K-swap and AWD conversion specialist is strongly recommended.

17. Confirm Fitment Before Bolting Down: Verify all mounting requirements and component compatibility before installation to avoid damage or unnecessary modifications.
