Re: 3spd manual trans crossmember-where is it?
I have seen a ton of Eatons with mounts. Top of the rear box has 2 5/8" studs that help support it from above. Then 2 mounts on the flywheel adapter and a mount on the front of the motor. It is pretty common to hang the trans of the rear with no adapter.

Re: 3spd manual trans crossmember-where is it?
When I bought my truck, it had originally been a std. trans. truck, the p.o. changed it to a 700r--torched out "most" of the original std. crossmember and added some rear cross member out of something for the rear of the 700r.
I am changing over to a muncie m 20. Ill be using the auto crossmember from gmc pauls at the rear of the trans. Ive built several cars down thru the years and I really dont like the trans hanging out in space. Just my opinion.

Re: 3spd manual trans crossmember-where is it?
i had a question about this crossmember in the suspension fourms. so could one get an auto aftermarket one and place it at the back of the tranny and remove this one? i ask because i want to lay frame(or close to it) and this one is clearly in the way. i never noticed a set of holes there(but i wasnt looking either).

Re: 3spd manual trans crossmember-where is it?
If you have a Saginaw 3 speed, there should be a provision for the rear mount cast into the case, allowing you to use a rear crossmember.
If you have a Muncie 3 speed, there won't be mount provisions there. |

Re: 3spd manual trans crossmember-where is it?
Well I have to say that I looked at all the post but the only one that caught my attention was the one with the nice pretty clean fresh frame. And they say men are visual creatures............................
