Raise my transmission
Hi, I have been searching threads on this and havent found what I need,
I have a 292 with stock 4 sp manual trans, Ive Sectioned the crossmember 1.5, shaved the trailing arm crossmember, installed disk brakes and tube control arms. The next thing that drags is the back of my transmission so I need to raise it, I was wondering if someone could suggest some other words to search for results or direct me to a thread that has info on this, Im not seeing any aftermarket transmission crosmembers that I can bolt my 4 speed to either, Any suggestions>? Ive searched Raise my transmission Transmission crosmember so far, Thanks in advance for any replys,

Re: Raise my transmission
Use a spacer between the cm and the trans and add a similar amount to the engine mounts or cut the rivets on the cm and lift the entire cm along with lifting the engine mounts or fab your own cm. With a protractor/ angle finder at the tailshaft make sure you are at 3 degrees downward and adjust/lift the mounts accordingly. Don't forget to watch the floor hump clearance, dizzy clearance etc. And make sure your rear diff is within 2 to 3 degrees of the tailshaft for no vibes.
