Standard or manual transmission uses a bell housing mount and cross member and an automatic uses a tail shaft mount and cross member. the cross members are different.....

Re: crossmember transmission

And the hair pulling part is you must remove the standard trans crossmember if you switch to an automatic.
They’re riveted in with the rivet heads on top of the frame.
Lots of fun to get at.

Re: crossmember transmission

One question 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive ?
4 x 4 manual uses a tranny mount cross member

I have used air chisel and air punch bit to remove crossmember rivets
Even still they can be a bear to remove
