{"product_id":"4l80e-4l85e-transmission-crossmember-kit","title":"4L80E\/4L85E Transmission Crossmember Kit","description":"The GForce RCG-4L80K is a transmission crossmember kit designed for 1978-1983 GM RWD G-Body vehicles, including models like the Malibu, Monte Carlo, El Camino, Cutlass, Grand Prix, Regal, Century, LeMans, Caballero, and Bonneville. This kit is engineered to facilitate the installation of 4L80E and 4L85E transmissions.\n\nThis specific kit includes the GF-FE100 frame extension, which is necessary to duplicate the longer frame found on earlier G-Body vehicles. The crossmember itself is constructed with a durable black powder-coated finish and comes with all the required mounting hardware for a complete installation.\n\nInstallation notes indicate that some 1983 Hurst Olds models may already have the longer frame rail, negating the need for the included GF-FE100 frame extension. Conversely, some 1984 El Caminos may retain the earlier frame design and still require the GF-FE100 extension. Additionally, it is recommended to use a polyurethane transmission mount, which is sold separately. Some installations may require the removal of the catalytic converter heat shield from the passenger side floor pan. For mounting, it is necessary to enlarge frame rail holes to 1\/2″ if using the provided 7\/16″ hardware, or use new Grade #8 fasteners if retaining the stock 3\/8″ hardware.","brand":"GForce","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52872716222776,"sku":"RCG-4L80K","price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/4l80e-4l85e-transmission-crossmember-kit","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
