hilux gearbox x member auto/manual

[BeRad]

This is a question that i cant seem to find the answer to .

Im wondering if the 98model hilux or any hilux would be a pretty good indication if they had the same x member location and mounting position between manual and auto gearboxs, the reason i ask is im about to start a 1uzfe conversion and would like to run the a340 gearbox with a shiftkit etc, so does anyone know if im in for any suprises when it comes to bolting the gearbox to the x member.?


thanks in advance

Brad.

same holes from the crossmember to the mounts
mounts are just different
the crossmember is not removable though

you can make the cross memebr removable.
I know that the mount in the cross member is the same for the R154 as per the original hilux auto gearbox.
