should my transmission crossmember be bolted above the lower frame rail rather than below? Just doesn't seem right to me bolted the way it is now. "What if the bolts break" is what hits me concerned.
There is not a lot of weight on that crossmember so it's not likely to break. It is bolted from below so that it can be removed when you need to R&R the trans.

Didn't even think of that.Thank you!! that makes sense to me.
I got these transmission fittings for my AOD the are 1/4”NPSM but will not thread in the hole . Seems like they are to big. Looked all over and cannot find anything.Thanks !

Reason: Mis info
On factory setups the crossmember is above the lower flange. You remove the bolts, jack up trans and angle the crossmember and drop down. No weight on bolts in fact if bolts fell out still stays up. I would try it that way myself....
