Or the McLeod adapter kit for about $250, plus a crossmember from the vendor of your choice (ATS and BMR are probably the best bets) or make your own crossmember. So far as I'm aware, CC5S doesn't sell parts (e.g., cross-members) independent of transmissions.

Gotcha.. I didn't realize that he had mech linkage..

CC5S does sell install parts for transmissions.. bells, hydraulics, clutches, that sort of stuff.

They do sell crossmembers for popular swap candidates.

Maybe they just wouldn't sell a crossmember to me. I asked, they said "nope."

Seriously, I don't think I've seen anyone else on the boards get one from them either.

Then why is one pictured and listed on thier website?

Oh wait, I remember.. I think they don't like to sell JUST the crossmember. I don't know if that's still the case.

How is the floor clearance compared to the T56/Tko600?

Well, it fit in my car in place of the T56.

It looks like the shifter itself sits a tad higher, but I think it's an optical illusion since it lined up perfecty with the floor.

What driveline angle are you running and how much tunnel clearance do you have?
