Wtf!!! Tko-600 Doesnt Work With Spohn X-member?!
I have the tko-600 tranny from fortes, and the spohn crossmember and torque arm for the tranny, and simply put, the tranny mount is about an inch off from where it should be. Anyone else have this problem or is there a problem with my setup? This is all being done by a very reputable shop so the workmanship is fine, im thinking there might be something wrong with my setup?

I have the spohn crossmember with a TKO. ran into no problems. I used the lakewood bellhousing and it is setup to except the T-5 or TKO. My understanding is that the adapter plates push the trans back about an inch. If you need the bellhousing part number let me know, I will dig threw my reciepts.

Getting the bellhousing bore on center is a real PITA. I ended up modifying the trans mount by weliding up the slots for the bolts and relocating each slot a 1/2 inch. hopefully having the bolts off-center wont cause any issues.
