Default Torque arm without relocation kit?

Do they make a tunnel braced torque arm that doesn't require a relocation kit for a Th400? Might be a stupid question but I saw the relocation kit is around $250 just for that itself. Seeing if there are options besides that. Thanks

We have a conversion crossmember and tunnel mount torque arm package at a discount deal... much less than 250.00. Give us a call and we will be happy to get you taken care of!

So you are looking for a torque arm or a transmission crossmember? I am a little confused on what you are asking. If I am understanding you correctly, Yes there are torque arms that mount to the chassis brace location. We have a couple of variations of this depending on your exhaust combo. They are around $400 for the torque arm and mount.

For stock exhaust:

This was from a sponsor on here but I don't want to share who. Was just seeing exactly what I need for this. And it's a turbo car with fender exhaust btw. Rear end is a s60

If you want to stay with a full length torque arm then yes you will need a relocation crossmember. Otherwise, you can use a tunnel mount style torque arm as I posted about that completely isolates the torque arm from the transmission and crossmember. Give me a call and I can give you a couple of options and get you setup with the best combination for your budget and application

That's what I was told I was quoted for and just didn't understand why I needed that too. I'll give you guys a call tomorrow. Thanks

Tunnel mounted torque arms for drag racing come with a bracket.

To install a TH400 you would need a trans crossmember as well.

Let me know if you need clarification. Happy to help.
