Edit 6/18/07: Jump to page 4-5 for the solution to the TKO vibration problem!
Well I just finished trying to install my tko 600. My problem now is that the trans mount bolts don't line up on the crossmember. When bolting the mount directly to the tranny, it needs to move back about a 1/4"-1/2" for it to line up. I modified the exhaust hanger bracket to fit flush against tranny, but that moves the holes 1/4" too far back. I tried flipping the crossmember, and it seems to line up perfectly like that, but the crossmember hits on the floorboard so I can't bolt it in place.
So here's the only solutions I can come up with.
1) I just installed a QA1 k-member, so I can move the engine back 1". Actually, no I can't because the steering rack lines are in the way...
2) I can drill out the holes on the exhaust hanger bracket to move the mount where I need.
3) Re-align the k member for a 3rd time and see if I can move it back 1/4" or so(doubt it).
4) Set the car on fire and push it off a cliff.
Oh yeah, Im using a McLeod blowproof bellhousing.
