Hi,

I'm getting ready to change my car from the AOD to an FRPP T5. I have a pretty good list of what I need, except for one thing--do I need to change anything with the way the transmission will mount to the rear cross-member?

I'm running one of Ross Converse's early kits, the one where the AOD mounts to a plate bolted to the cross-member. Will changing over to a T5 require a change to the cross-member or the mounting plate itself?

If you have any pictures, I'd really appreciate seeing how you put yours together.

In case anybody is wanting to do a swap in the opposite direction, I'll be selling our "built" AOD and trans cooler set-up once everything is completed.

Thanks in advance!

Steve A-
