This is the new design for the transmission cross members. I have a jig and templates set up now so I can make them a bit faster. They will come with Grade 8 hardware, TIG welded. Trans bushing is not included. Fits 79-95 Toyota's, manual and auto transmissions.
I'm a newbie so if anyone doesnt mind, can you explain the purpose for a modified tranny crossmember.
The stock cross member hangs lower than the frame rails, so to make the frame lay flat, you have to build one that doesn't hang too low. Yours may already be modded if the truck is bagged.
Thanks... I learned something new today. So the cross member and z ing the frame should be done together in order to lay frame. Looks like I got some work to do because my truck isn't even laying crossmember.
Sorry I thought I put the price in it. Yes it is $149+ shipping. I have a lot of time into designing these to make them as simple to install as possible, and still easy to remove the exhaust or transmission without affecting eachother. TSA15, yes you can buy a new trans bushing basically anywhere. But there is already one on your truck that is probably fine. I just bought this one to make sure the mounts for the 4 and 5 speeds where the same bolt pattern below. I picked up a large box of grade 8 bolts today to ship with these, and put in an order for a few sticks of 1x2 .120 wall. So I'm basically ready to start producing these.
To lay flat, yes. Also the stock spring hangers are below the frame. If you still have those they need to be cut off.
justa comment . . . Seth, man, some of the stuff you do just blows my mind, totally awesome! Love the design & fab work! Sorry to go off topic, just hought it needed to be said again, which Im sure youve heard a million times ! L o w N l o u d
