It had to come out on my truck when I swapped from 3 speed to Turbo 400.

Thats exactly what i am in the process of doing right now, you will need to remove the manual trans Xmember to make it work, cut off the rivet heads and use a punch to pound them out, beware it's a b**** to get out the frame i just hacked mine in half(the easy way).
