Default 4l60e/4l80e swap crossmember info needed
i currently have a bmr body mounted torque are mount/crossmember and I was wondering if this will also work as my crossmember for my 4l80 or do I need something else? If I need a different one can it be modified to work?

Almost positive you need the 80 specific mount. You should be able to sell yours and recoup some of the cost.

the torque are is in the same place, only difference would be the location of the trans mount. does anyone know how far off they are?

You can modify the stock M6 mount to get it to work if you have a tunnel mount TA

Both BMR and Yank make crossmembers that work with trans mount and tunnel mount tq arms. I have the Yank with no complaints....The BMR you can also adjust the pinion angle.

Yank with a stock-style torque arm mount is cheaper (thats what I have).
