so I've heard people say "stay away from the automatic (cvt) HX models" cause the engine/trans mounts are completely different and you will have to basically do some major surgery if you ever want to swap a manual trans and/or b-series swap in there. Is this true?
The reason I'm asking is cause I know a kid that wants to sell me his near mint HX that was originally an auto but it was converted to manual before he got the car. He lives over an hour away from me tho so its not like I can just cruise over and take a look at it whenever. He says its a clean job but I don't think he knows that much about cars. Just trying to figure out if I should expect to find a butcher job when I get there
