It is supposed to fit the secondary transmission crossmember.
My car is an 84 TA with 700R4.

Thanks. It would be nice if ES put that on the box.

Re: Where the heck is this supposed to fit?

Not just T5s... Plenty of the goofy double-decker crossmembers on V6s and early cars too. There's yet another oddball crossmember used on some T5 cars with a unique liquid filled mount.

Best solution to all the oddball crossmembers is to swap in the one piece style.

This is off of my 83 L69/T-5 car... ignore the 2 extra slots, I cut those so I could put in a 2-bolt-up mount instead of the crappier 1-stud-down style.

Re: Where the heck is this supposed to fit?

OH, I see. The 2-piece design gives a little more cushioning to the tailshaft of the transmission. I guess it is a good idea for manual transmissions.

Re: Where the heck is this supposed to fit?

It's one more thing to give the torque arm an even sloppier feel...

Re: Where the heck is this supposed to fit?

I would say definitely not a performance optioned model (WS6, etc) part. My WS6 has a one piece. Sounds like it's used on the marshmallow suspension models.

Both of my 84 camaros (1 was a factory auto an the other was a factory 5-speed)had the 2 piece x-member, the first time I saw the 1 piece was at a salvage yard
