I pulled the nasty ol&#8217; unit from the original transmission and cleaned it up, chopped out the &#8216;notch&#8217; section to clear the AOD&#8217;s pan, and sprayed on some engine enamel. Looks good so far&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mister4x4.net\/mister4x4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/transmissionmount1.jpg?resize=780%2C577&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mister4x4.net\/mister4x4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/transmissionmount1.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mister4x4.net\/mister4x4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/transmissionmount1.jpg?resize=300%2C222&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mister4x4.net\/mister4x4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/transmissionmount1.jpg?resize=768%2C568&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All In! The &#8216;new&#8217; cross-member fits like a champ (it should, since it&#8217;s the original piece).
