Does it matter which way the actual crossmember is mounted direction wise (tranny support welded piece facing forward or rearward)? Either the welded mount faces towards the front or the other way around with it facing towards the rear. It actually fits either way with the crossmember I have.

With it facing towards the rear, the "U" shape portion in the crossmember partially covers a end pan bolt so im pretty sure it doesn't go that way, but on this particular car it was mounted this way when I took it off although im not sure if its correct.

What is interesting is this particular crossmember the welded tranny support piece does not appear to be offset at all or as much offset like pictures ive seen.
