Say hey MUD
Working on converting my FJ62 from auto tranny to four-speed manual (H42). I have a question about the transmission crossmember. The four-speed I have came with isolaters that are flat on the bottom. Like so:
Now, the shorter transmission crossmember I picked up and was intending to use is V-shaped. Like so:
I thought that this cross member came from a late eighties FJ60 but… perhaps I am wrong? Regardless, my question is this... Do I need to get a new crossmember (flat to match) OR can I procure isolators that are V-shaped to match the crossmember I have?
Fully aware I'll still need to fabricate some pieces to mount crossmember to frame. Also fully aware that the real value would be an H55 swap, but let's not get distracted here.
Thanks for your help!
