torque arm mount

What's the best way to mount the stock thirdgen torque arm to a LS style 4L60? 4th gen mount?

Re: torque arm mount

4th gen piece is compatible with your 3rd gen torque arm

If using the 3rd gen mount and bracket on the 4L60E, youll have to weld some tabs on the edges for the bolts to go through as the pattern is different for 2 of the 3 bolts

I assume by "TA" you mean "torque arm" and not "Trans Am" (my brain read "Trans Am" the first time I read it).

Re: torque arm mount

I don't have a welder, so I'll try to find a 4th gen mount. Thanks!
