Diff between auto and 4-speed crossmember
Good afternoon all,
Apparently there are two different trans crossmembers on C3's, one for auto and one for manuals. Can someone explain to me the difference?,..photos would be great.
I'm looking for a 4-speed crossmember for my 73,..if anyone has a line on one,..let me know (none on e-bay right now).

As far as I know a 4 speed crossmember cannot be removed because it is welded onto the main frame. The auto crossmember is a bolt on to facilitate trans removal. I may be wrong but I don't think so.

Thanks!
I'm sure many have converted C3's with automatic tranny to 4-speeds. What needs to be done to a TH-400 crossmember to make it compatble with a Muncie 4-Speed,..or...is there an aftermarket bolt-on crossmember designed for the swap?
Advice welcome.

So my original TH-400 crossmember will work? I know on my 69 Camaros, a TH-400 crossmember won't work with Muncies without working it over.
Shafrs3,..what "little tangs" are you speaking of? Photos would be great.
Thanks for helping me out.
