Does anyone know the correct part number crossmember for a 69GS 400 4-speed. I have one but the trans looks like it sits to high. The part number on it is #9796239,but it looks like it has been modified. It has two sets of holes, for the transmission mount one set sloted and one regular
The cross member is not specified by the transmission but by the model, the mount is transmission specific. Convertible and Sport Wagon 9796243 - GS400 and Sport Wagon 9796242 - Less GS400 and Sport Wagon Coupes, Sedans and Regular Wagons 9796239 - Less GS400 Coupe 9796240 - GS400 Coupe Looks like you have the wrong cross member and need the 9796240.. Mount Info - 1369534 - Color Orange - 4 Speed (Manual) 1381016 - Color Pink - Less 46 Series 1385718 - Color Blue - Auto 46 Series Terry
Thanks for the info,I thought it was the wrong one but wasn't sure. Now comes the search for another part
On a 70 4 speed the E brake cable goes over the cross member and not through the hole like a TH 400. Ask someone experienced about a 69.
About 20 years ago , I took my four speed stuff out and put in a automatic to bracket race,along with a 6 point rollcage, then parked the car about 15 years ago. In the mean time my dad sold all my four speed stuff at a swap meet, and I didn't find out for about five years. Fast forward to now and I am doing a body off restoration and trying to get it back the way it was-hence no crossmember. I got a Muncie from impala, I found the correct bell housing , still had the clutch pedals( Ididnt take them out back then),and I'm getting the clutch linkage from Dave Kliner(should be here soon), and with a lot of luck I still had the console.
