That is the transmission X mount. looks like off a 240D automatic.
when you do the 4 spd swap into a 300D, the 240D auto X mount is the one to use.
the auto X mount that the 300D automatic uses will not work, and the 240D manual skinny one will not work. some have cut the end off and drilled a new hole or tried to mount it on an angle.

You will have to move the X mount forward to the next set of holes, and the 240D auto seems to be the one to use. this is the one I used when I did my swap.

I believe you want the 300D auto plate no? The 240D auto is what we use with the 4spd manual.
