ok.. i need a measurment from the output shaft on the tranny to the tranny tunnel... doesnt matter if it is an auto or manual tranny .. just need to know how far down the output shaft needs to be from the trans tunnel so i can set it right to make a crossmember. i tried the trans forum but no replies. please help .. thanks

 

come on people.. you mean to say knowbody can take a quick measurment from the output shaft to the trans tunnel above it? heck even from the yoke to tunnel. please help

 

ok just so i know what you want. you want a measurment from the tail housing to the tunnel? any other spots. im not going to do it tonight but tomarrow im putting my car in the air to work on it. so if you need any other spots tell me.

 

I don't know if you think this will help, but it should.

I'm pretty sure (from what I remember) the crossmembers on our cars are flat on top, where the tranny sits.

So whatever crossmember you're fabbing up, just make it flat on the top, add in the height of a stock trans mount and you're set.

 

I would gladly take a measurement but i have this problem of a beer gut getting in my way while trying to slide under my car I imagine thats the reason why not too many other people are replying too.

 

Yes. It's because you have a beer gut and we don't, so we don't want to make you feel bad.

I changed mine a couple of times (damn shift kits), so you'd think I remember. Unfortunetly my memory is as short as my.... anyway.

The tranny board might have some info??

 

My car is so damn low i cant even get my head under it, Gotta drive it up on blocks to do oil changes even...


In other news, w00t! its snowing!!!

 

it fall not winter no snow is falling.

 

It might be fall where you are but its snowing up here! check a map, im waaaayyyyy up here. few inches of snow up at the mines which is about 400km from here and its above the treeline just to give you an idea how far north.

 

yeah i saw that after i posted. so how many months out of the year does it snow?

 

I'll go you one better..

Besided the beergut, my Camaros are parked on BaseRock drives


Heck, even my wife won't scratch my back...

 

we get snow about 7 months of the year. october-april

 

88tat.... if you could measure from the tunnel to the tailshaft.. and even the tunnel to the trans yoke... straight up .. that would be great.. im just fabbing a crossmember for a t56 and since the mount is dif height and location then t-5 or 700r4 its hard to get an accurate idea of where it needs to be.. but since the output shaft and yoke are the same position .. if i had the measurment there i could get it correct then start welding.. thanks in advance for measuring for me...

 

Where in the heck are you at?

You are aware that there are places (in the good ol USA) that you can wash you car in a tanktop in January?
