I took out a poor install of a T-5 in a 64 GTO that I recently bought and I am replacing the T-5 with the original M20. I had to buy a new tranny crossmember because the one with the T-5 was fabricated. Does the original crossmember mount on top of the frame, or underneath? It seems that it should mount on top.

Thanks in advance.

On top of the lower frame channel. They used a rubber insulator that 'capped' the ends of the crossmember, and a stamped 'clamp' that secured the insulator.

Nothing wrong with drilling holes and bolting the crossmember in without the rubber insulators, I have 3 different '64 cars done both ways with no problems.

Thanks for the info! That's what I thought, but you just never know....
