![]() I was putting my tranny in tonight and had about 20min's in it got her in but ran into a little problem. The crossmember and tranny mount.What did you do with the crossmember and tranny mount? If I weld a 3x7in. plate to the top of the tranny mount, that bolts to the transmission, and drill new holes about 11/4in. forward I could bolt the tranny in. I'm thinking of doing this with 1/8in. steel? Has anyone else run into this problem? If you have what did you do? And will this pass with the tech man, or do you think this is a safe solution? Sorry it's so long trying to get to the track this weekend..

![]() Jump over to the FFW site and ask the question in the Racer's Clubhouse. I'd think that some of the Renegade & Outlaw racers ought to be able to answer you question real quick.

![]() What's the trick? I figured it'd be like the AOD, where you just grind the welds on the cross member and slide it back, then reweld it.

![]() hey I have a question since you seemed to have figured out your problem, were converting this 93 coupe 4 cyl to a 351w swap, I'm going to run a c-4 tranny and i have the true dual cross member so the bushing housings are not welded yet, from what I read I guess it will bolt up fine then I weld it, but beyond that, did your driveshaft fit right? and was the slip yoke the right splines?
