Tranny crossmember question
does anybody know if this crossmember from performanceonline.com can be used for either an auto or manual trans? It says its for an auto, but I was wondering if the mount is the same for both trans, but with different bolt hole mounting locations??

It's a catastrophic success.

Re: Tranny crossmember question
Stock manuals mounted to the bell housing up close to the back of the motor, as the autos mounted on the tail of the tranny.

Re: Tranny crossmember question
Early manual trannys (3spds) were short & used the crossmember that was located immediately behind the back of the engine. Later manual trannys (that are longer/heavier) would need the same auto-trans style transmission crossmember to better support the additional length/weight.

Re: Tranny crossmember question
scoti,
I thought I read something like that. So would the later style manuals use both the crossmembers or just the further back one? |

IIRC, the original truck bellhousings had provisions for the original style man trans c.member that went just behind the block. Aftermarket bellhousings (or those from a HP application) won't have these provisions.

Re: Tranny crossmember question
dimensionally the 3spd is the same or almost the same as the TH 350 (uses same driveshaft and yoke). There is also a spot on the three speed where a mount could bolt but I don't know if it is in the same place.
