Re: 3 speed trans

I think you need one,at least I did for changing from 4spd to 350. I never did the switch so if you want to swing by I'll give it to you. -(in Studio City)

Re: 3 speed trans

I had only a bellhousing crossmember from my 3 speed. If yours is the same, I'd say you definitely need a new crossmember for a TH350.

Re: 3 speed trans

my 3spd used a totally different crossmember, and it was in a completely different location. 3spd is farther forward and has two mounting points, offset from center (one on the left, one on the right). auto mounts in the very middle of the crossmember, and about a foot farther back.
