You're right. I just checked with a tape measure and the solenoid lines up with the crossmember. The mount on the transmission doesn't line up with the crossmember as I thought but will be an inch or so behind the crossmember. I can move the crossmember since it's bolted in but that will probably screw up the master cylinder and pedals. Any suggestions? I also don't know how I'll mount the tranny. How did you mount yours?
