Re: Is a transmission crossmember neccessary?

An additional mounting location, while it might sound like a good idea, can cause unwanted torqueing within the eng/trans driveline combo - possible bind, etc. Mimic how GM did it - one or the other way, not both. Either is fine.
Ive read a few threads on this and I think your right on...If it was designed by GM that way, Im good with it...Ill be running a T5 5 speed overdrive and was wondering what to do regarding this issue,,my transmission guy said the same thing...possible binding would be a issue..
