Did I buy the wrong guibo?

I just recently bought a poly guibo from revshift. They sell two guibos for the e30; one of them uses 10 mm bolts while the other uses 12mm bolts. I bought the 10 mm. I have a 1990 325i automatic. Did i get the right one?

[MR 325]

Yes, that is correct.

I also bought the revshift tranny mount and I just noticed on pictures that the manual tranny mount is different from the auto tranny mount. Will this still fit/work?

IIRC auto mounts have the studs offset in relation to one another, the manual mounts are straight across. compare to your current mounts and if not correct, get the right ones

No, the trans mounts will not work. Why do you need all of these poly parts on an auto car?

What do you mean auto car? I'm not upset or anything, but just want to know why there's such a stigma for driving an auto. :curse:
I think an auto is more relaxing to drive on the street and the auto trans on the e30 is actually really good if you use the gear selector. Having said that, I might swap to a 5 speed in the future depending on how much track time i plan on doing.

Oh yeah, I was able to get the poly trans mount to work by modifying the mount bracket. I just carefully measured and drilled two new holes into the bracket. Actually fits perfectly.

I was just wondering why you need urethane parts when OEM spec is much cheaper and will absolutely be fine with an automatic cruiser.

I thought poly would be an upgrade from OEM. Just wanted to stiffen up the stock soft ride quality. I plan on upgrading every bushing in the car to poly. and the HR/Billy race kit. Talked to somebody with the HR/Billy race kit, and he said it was the best setup he's ever driven. He said it would be okay for street use without being overly harsh.
