kcambron Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 My 1973 project did not have a transmission cross member in it so I looked at my 1981 turbo parts car and it bolts right up(5 speed). My question is, what is the extra piece of stamped metal that bolts right up with the trans cross brace(1981)? The older cars don't have it, is it needed?

Tony D Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I install it as a matter of course. Nissan decided to add it for some reason or another---likely some sort of tunnel flex was noticed. I mean, it's not a real weight penalty at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
