    Has anybody here ever used the DVS Restorations crossmember (http://www.dvsrestorations.com/transmissionpage.html) to put a T5 into a Maverick? I'm thinking about ordering one, but I'd like to here from someone who's used it. My main concern is not having enough adjustment front to back to reach back to the T5. For anybody else that has done the T5 swap, what did you do for a crossmember?

    It doesn't look to solid...it has a lot of moving parts

    wow that is truly a universal unit!

    probly would work fine if you welded it after you got it set right.

    I'm more concerned with the fact that the mounts on the T5 are offset behind where the crossmember drops down.
