I have been working on the 4R70W install and have the trans mounted to the engine ok, I am using the AA adapter which fits fine. I originally modified the stock crossmember as per the crap AA instructions but the cross member seemed to be shifted to one side to work with the stock frame mount holes so I decided to purchase a cross member from Toms figuring I miss measured something with the stock crossmember I modified.
The crossmember came in today and I mocked it up but the transmission is still too far to one side to make the holes, I can't figure out why. I have removed the engine mount nuts and jacked up the motor trying to see if it needed to twist but there's no play there.
I've looked at flipping the crossmember the other way but that would put it too far back. The transmission bracket is in place just as the instructions call for it.
I had taken the engine out of the frame to paint the frame, it's the original frame, the same extreme motor mounts and the motor was in this frame with a C4 before and fit with no issues.
I'll give Toms a call next week but may one of you has run into this issue?
