Default Manual trans bracket, what funtions does it serve?

That black bracket at the rear end:



See one on the t-5 I bought and am not sure what it does and if I need to try to hook it up. My muncie does not have one like that.

Hummm, don't remember anything but a tranny mount last time I pulled it so I will have to check it out when I pull the muncie tonight. Maybe bubba forgot/left it off before me. :confused:

That's what I'm talking about, the bracket that the shifter is mounted to.

I believe that some models use a torque arm from the rear end to that bracket. You would not use it in a C3.

:thumbs:

Also double as the exhaust hanger brackets.

Did some prelim measurements and if I can get the exhuast to fit I should be able to mount it like it is in the f-body and use the hyd clutch and the stock t-5 shifter may even line up right through the existing hole in the trans tunnel.

Seems it is a bracket for a connector than runs from it to the rear end somehow. Will have too see if there is one on my formula but it is an auto so not sure. :confused:

Its the mount for the torque arm on a 3rd and 4th gen F-body.
