Gearbox Crossmembers

[Nic_A31]

Apparently different between auto and manual.

I compared mine, both are identical, no re-drilling visible anywhere on either, all mounting holes in the exact same spot.

are you comparing the auto to manual Cefiro x-members? or trying to fit a Silvia or R32 x-member in?

Comparing factory auto Cefiro crossmember, to crossmmeber that was mounting my manual box into the other Ceffy (originally an Auto), but was still under the impression that auto crossmember and manual crossmember were different....looks like same crossmember for either gearbox.

Hmm, odd, check the shape of the floor pans? Are they the same in both cars?

Check your VIN numbers against nissan FAST, will tell you if they were factory auto or manual.

the auto cefiro has mount bolt holes in a different location to the manual, u use a manual s13 one i think or make up adapter plates out of flat bar ($10) drill a hole for the g/b mount and another for the g/b so 2 holes on each bit of flat bar. you may need to chop/ drill a lil section out so your speedo cable input doesn't foul on it.

my adapter plates passed rwc

Here's the thing, according to FAST and their production plates, they're BOTH definately facgtory auto.

The crossmember are the same, they have 3 hoels on each side and only use 2 to bolt up to floorplan, no adapter plates.

I'll take pics.

fast said the na ceffy use's sr20de brakes.... it lied

[Nic_A31]

yes but I know for a fact both of mine definately rolled of the production floor with auto anchors

Auto and manual gearbox crossmembers are the same.

S13 manual crossmember is a perfect fit (for a manual converted cefiro) the only good thing that came from my partner destroying her old 180.. plus the fact she brought a 32.

Sorry to necro an older thread, but I'm trying to figure out whether you need the B-stamped gbox crossmember or the A-stamped one. This website here: (http://www.subituned.com.au/forums/index.php?showtopic=310629) states the factory manual S13-S15 came with B-stamped crossmembers as their manual ones rather than the A-stamped as earlier suggested in other threads.

Theres 3 A B & C a is auto rb20det and c is manual rb20det but when i did my 32 4door i needed the b stamped one from ca/sr s13 to line up with bolt holes
