There’s been a lot of folks run without the added 3rd crossmember...while the T5 is definitely longer (3”s), it is quite a bit lighter than the Saginaw 3 speed...With the bell housing supports, I’m not sure the tail shaft crossmember is even necessary...no one has reported an issue that I have read. Obviously I will make sure both motor and bellhousing mounts are in good shape first though...
