 I've a question - how do the transmission mounts differ in 4 and 5 speed cars? Were there different places on the body for the crossmember studs?

I've got a 5 speed in my car, originally a 4 speed car. The engine it in the car and everything seems right. But, the crossmember *seems* like it is 4 inches too far back to mount up with the studs correctly. There is no way the engine/tranny is coming forward 4 inches, plus, it seems right as is.

Also, anyone have any photos on how the shifter piece on the 5 speed is held in place so it doesn't flop up and down? I assume a bolt through the tunnel and through the shifter will fix it, but I'd like to see the factory solution.

Thanks much!!!
