I am getting ready to install the T-5 and have a crossmember question. I have two crossmembers, one out of the donor car and the original. Problem is I don't remember which one was which. One has a dip in the center to lower the mount and one is straight across. Which one should I be using on the 5 speed?? I think the straight one was from my auto but am not sure. Any help is appreciated.

 

hmmmm. i just did that swap 1 week ago, and that i know of they are the same crossmember. I have both the one from the donor car an '88 camaro, and mine from my 'ROC. I don't even know which one i used SHAGGY

I just used the one from the auto, I have had no problems.

------------------
Black 89 IROC...355, Solid Crower Cam, TFS heads.
12.0 @ 120.3mph with a 1.9 60ft...all motor

 

The one in my 84 T-5 car is pretty straight. It is one straight bar all the way across with another shorter one bolted to the top of it on some rubber bushings or something

 

Thanks for the info. I'll use the straight one.
