Re: Lt1 swap torque arm
did you have to lower or adjust anything to get your mount holes to lines up on both torque arm and transmission. i have the 4gen torque arm mount also.

Re: Lt1 swap torque arm
Take apart the torque-arm-mount(bushing?) on the tranny and their should be about 2 halves.
Take the half of the mount that goes on the tranny and bolt it on. Bolt the actual torque arm on the rear first. Move the torque arm down and put the other half of the torque-arm-mount on the tranny. Torque arm should now be in place.

Re: Lt1 swap torque arm
my fault for not being clear, I meant I forgot to put the torque arm bracket on the transmission before I bolted it on, and seems there is no way it could go in from the bottom

Re: Lt1 swap torque arm
anyone knows the easiest way to install the torquearm bracket with the transmission already bolted up without unbolting crossmemeber, and all that stuff.with the screw attached to the torque arm bracket, it seems impossible putting the torque arm bracket on from the bottom!

You're going to have to drop the tail of the tranny. Ain't no other way.

Put a jack under the tranny before you unbolt the crossmember.
