T/A Question...

Was wondering would an aftermarket Torque Arm from a 4th gen would work on my 3rd Gen? has anyone tried this, or know anyone that has tried it? Used t/q seem hard to find for third-gens but seem more common for 4th-gen cars. Any imput or thoughts on this would be great. Thanks.

I know that the stock 4th gen torque arms are the same as ours.
The mounts seem to be the same too. I have a 4th gen rear, 3rd gen torque arm, and 4th gen torque arm mount on my 4th gen tranny.

I assuming that the aftermarket t/a's have the same mounting points, both front and rear, as what our stock third-gen arms do? Has anyone tried an aftermarket t/a designed for a forth-gen on a third-gen.

Jester, did you have any problems mounting up the stock torque arm? I'm running the stock 700R and with a 4th-gen rear, anyone see any probelms that I might have bolting up a 4th-gen aftermarket t/a?

Thanks.

Welp looks like I'm going to find how this will work. Just bought a new Random Technology Torque Arm off of LS1.com. Should be here some time next week probably. Picked it up for 250 shipped, new in the box. I'll let everyone know how well and easy it bolts up to the 4th gen rear and 700R.
