{"product_id":"transmission-crossmember-for-700r4-4l60e-t5-g-body-swaps","title":"Transmission Crossmember for 700R4\/4L60E\/T5 G-Body Swaps","description":"The G Force RCG-700TS transmission crossmember is engineered for GM RWD G-Body vehicles from 1978-1988, including popular models like the Malibu, Monte Carlo, and El Camino. It is designed to accommodate a variety of transmissions, including the 700R4 (case mount), 4L60, 4L60E, 4L65E, T5, TKO, TKX, and 2WD-AR5.\n\nThis crossmember features a durable black powder-coated finish and comes with included mounting hardware. G Force recommends pairing it with a polyurethane transmission mount (GMTM), which is sold separately, for optimal performance and vibration damping. The design includes specific considerations for exhaust clearance humps, which are installed closed on top and open on the bottom, with the G Force label facing the rear.\n\nInstallation notes indicate that for tailshaft-mounted 700R4 transmissions, specific part numbers are required: RCG-700TSK for 1978-1983 G-Body vehicles and RCG-700TS for 1984-1988 models. In some instances, particularly with T5 transmissions, a custom transmission mount may be necessary to ensure proper driveline alignment. Additionally, 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″ for the provided 7\/16″ hardware, or use new Grade #8 fasteners if retaining the stock 3\/8″ size. If body bushing compression is an issue, replacing the bushings or gently lifting the floor pan may be required to achieve sufficient clearance.","brand":"GForce","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52872732508472,"sku":"RCG-700TS","price":320.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/transmission-crossmember-for-700r4-4l60e-t5-g-body-swaps","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
