I'm doing a 700R4 to T56 and noticed in the "answers to questions that aren't normally asked" thread that the torque arm mount for the 700R4 setup won't work and that I would need one from a 4th gen. Does anyone know the part number for the mount? I've looked online for the part but I keep getting ones that fit 85-97 which doesn't make sense.

 

i would think saying all was stock and its just a tranny swap it should fit. Now there is a differance in the way the lip ont the touq arm tip faces in differant years, mid 80's some where change

 

All the torque arm mounts for the manual shift transmissions were the same for the 5 and 6 speed up through '97. The one i have came from a t-5 and it bolts up fine. auto's are different mount both 3rd and 4th gen.

 

Thanks, now I just need to find a site that sells them and specifies if it's for a manual or auto. Local Pontiac dealership wasn't much help.

 

Don't run a stock torque arm, get an aftermarket crossmember mount or a jegs brand type mount instead of spending the money on something that can break tailshafts off your trans.

 

Can someone recommend one for what i'm doing?

 

spohn, BMR, alston, jegs brand, etc etc. There are tons out there and they all are basically doing the same thing.
