Dragonfly Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 I've got a 72' 240z and I just picked up a BW T5 transmision for it, when I went to put it in I found that the mount on the transmission is about 1 inch further back than the bracket in the tunnel. I compared the mount that was on the tranny with the mount that I had on my previous tranny and there is about 1 inch offset between them, I am not able to use the one that came with the T5 as the bracket in my transmission tunnel is different. I know I am not the first one to have this problem so if someone else who has gone through this before can let me know what you did I will be grateful.

SleeperZ Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Yep, you found it. I used the crossmember from a 280ZXT with an automatic (don't know if it's the same as the manual ZXT), but I still had to slot the holes in the transmission and the tranny mount to accomodate it. Don't know what driveshaft issues there are, as I had a custom one built for about $200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonfly Posted July 5, 2002 Author Share Posted July 5, 2002 I saw a zxt with an auto the other day in the wrecking yard so I will go out and take another look tommorow and see if its crossmember will help me. Dragonfly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonfly Posted July 5, 2002 Author Share Posted July 5, 2002 I found a good link for T5 info for anyone else who may be working on or messing with a T5. http://www.geocities.com/zgarage2001/borg.html I am still open to comments suggestions and advice for anyone who feels like handing some out.
