Second, tighten the upper 2 TA mount bracket screws before installation, you can't get to them after the tranny mount is installed, you can still get the TA in and tighten the bottom 2 after the tranny mount is installed.
Be careful when taking the old tranny mount off, there is a wire loom pressed into the mount and if your not careful you can damage the wiring for the sensor (i believe it's the O2 sensor). I just popped it out with a small screw driver.
Also, you will need to get another bolt and nut for the Y pipe bracket, there are 2 and one of them is part on the old TA mount. I'm actually heading to home depot now to get one now.
Other than that it went right on and is a real nice piece. Hangs a tad bit too low but i guess it could be worse.
I'll take and post some pics later today

ill try to get pics tomorrow, i was quite disappointed being told by bmr that this hangs about the same as stock not a noriceable differernce. i have lost a half of an inch clearance now, 3.5 down to 3 inches. and this wasnt the lowest point before, its prob about 1.5 to 2 inches lower than stock. cant do nothing about it now though, just hot its not gonna hit on much.

my comp is messed up so no pics yet. i like it but it really isnt adjsutable with a ypipe set up, i have to have it up all the way just to get it to barely clear my ypipe, the torque arm that is. looks like a good piece, really isnt adjsutable though. i do like getting the tq arm off the trans though.

yea but the BMR trak pak doesn't come with a driveshaft loop correct?? Plus this crossmember can help with guys running TD's because they can't use a tunnel mount TA unless they do some fabbing. If I didn't go with this crossmember, I would go with a Spohn tunnel mount TA.

Hangs a bit lower than it needs to but the quality is great. I had to buy it, my Spohn TA was hitting my Y pipe so I kinda killed 2 birds with one stone, although a pricey stone at over $240. The combination of my Spohn TA, BMR cross member, and new tranny mount made a decient upgrade, I wasn't like "Holy F#($" when it was done, but I could notice an improvement. Absolutely no wheel hop, even in reverse...
