Guest Anonymous Posted July 9, 2001 Share Posted July 9, 2001 ok folks, doing a rebuild on my suspension, '76, still and inliner, 4 speed. Took the tranny crossmember to the machine shop to have them remove bushings...well...seems they removed the outer casing too...Am I gonna need to get a new one? Or is there a fix for this? If anyone in the Phoenix area has a spare crossmember, I'd really like to know ya! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted July 10, 2001 Share Posted July 10, 2001 Never did the crossmember?!?! For shame!! Got a good idea from one of our message board members though, use exhaust tubing, that is just slightly smaller than the ID of the hole in the crossmember, and hammer it in, nothing rotates, so it just has to be a nice, tight fit.

jeromio Posted July 10, 2001 Share Posted July 10, 2001 Nooo, slightly larger , then cut a section out to make it the same size. Or perhaps the same exact size (if you're really lucky). Wait!!! I just remembered that I used trans cross member poly bushings in my DeGroot diffmount! I found some galvanized fence-post tubing that had the exact same ID as the bushing OD. Found it at Lowe's.
