83 Torque Arm Bushing Mount
 
I saw many threads on this, but most were covering stock torque arms with replacement bushings.

I have a T5 in my 83 trans am. I am looking to replace my factory TA with an aftermarket adjustable one (transmission mounted style). Do i have to get a 84+ torque arm bushing mount (clam-shell) or am i good with my stock one?

(the UMI and BMR descriptions say i will need an 84+ style clam-shell but is this only for autos?)

The 82-84 clam shell bushings are different...they point the opposite way. And I know UMI at least recommends using a poly bushing. I'd call them and ask when you order so you get the right one. I got the wrong one when I bought my TQ arm...because I didn't call. :idiot:
