Help: Problem with engine mount aligning after 5 speed swap

Hi. I have having all kinds of problems getting the driver's side mount and the dogbone mount lined up so I can bolt them in. I have tried a hoist, 2x4s, etc to move the engine around to try to make the mounts line up, but I haven't had much success.

I did get the driver's side mount to bolt up, but now the dogbone mount will not line up. The engine needs to go towards the passenger side of the car about one inch, but the engine will not budge. I did get the far end of the dogbone mount to bolt up to the transmission, but it is cocked way to the side in order to make that happen. I tried using a ratcheting strap to pull the bottom of engine towards the passenger side, but it will not move. (instead it moves the whole car)

I am doing a 5-speed swap. My car is a 2003 TDI Jetta Wagon. The 5-speed transmission is from a 2005 TDI Golf. Everything that I have read says the transmission from the 2005 Golf will bolt up to my 2003 Wagon's engine.

The dogbone mount is brand new and the top part of the driver's side mount was never removed. I did replace the bottom part of the side mount with the aluminum piece from the 2005 Golf since that part of the mount is different between the 5-speed and auto.

Did I install something wrong? Maybe the middle side mount piece? It seems to be installed correctly.

Thanks for your help!

This is transmission mount bracket and it is the same for the 2005 TDIs and the 2003 TDis.

Also I would like to point out the that the hose that attaches to the ASV is not even close to being lined up.

mrfiat, I cannot explain why you are having this issue. When I did my conversion I did not. Can you get a look at another 03?
Step away from it for a day or so and then you might see something obvious... I've done this so many times.

I figured it out. The passenger side engine mount came apart while I was installing the transmission, so the rod that goes into the rubber mount came out and ended up beneath the mount. This was why I could not line up the other mounts. I removed the engine mount and I am waiting for a new one to come in the mail.

I was gonna say.. your engine looked way too low in the compartment.
