Default Spohn adjustable torque arm 3rd gen question

I bought a spohn adjustable torque arm with drive shaft loop for my LS1/4l60e swap into a 3rd gen 85 Trans Am from Third Gen Resource. The problem I am having is the transmission mount does not line up with the cross member from the spohn torque arm, it is about 2 inches off. Meaning the cross member hole is 2 inches to the rear from the transmission mount bolt. When I bought this torque arm I was told to the 700r4 model would line-up and fit the 4l60e transmission. Has anyone else had this problem? If so what did you do to fix it? Thanks in advance

I would call them and make sure they did'nt send you the cross member for a 6-speed by accident. I think it sits 2" further back then the auto.

Found out today from Spohn that Third Gen Resource did send me the wrong transmission crossmember instead of the 700r4 crossmember that they said would fit the 4L60E I should have gotton the LSX/4L60E crossmember. So anyone that plans on using a Spohn adjustable torque arm with transmisson mount and driveshaft loop for a 4L60E/LS1 swap make sure you order this one.
