1982-1992 Chevrolet UMI Tunnel Mounted Torque Arm with Driveshaft Loop, 700R4 & T5 - Red 2217-R

This tunnel mounted torque arm is designed to work with a factory 700R4 automatic transmission and manual T5 5 speed transmission in a 1982-1992 Chevrolet. This item is supplied with a new transmission crossmember with provisions to work with both the 700R4 and T5 transmission. Setup requires no modifications and is a 100% bolt in design.This torque arm setup is designed to remove the front mounting point of the torque arm off the transmission, protecting the tail shaft from damage. This torque arm is supplied with pivot brackets that allow two settings to allow easy center adjustments. By simply moving the torque arm into the next location you can automatically change the instant center point of the vehicle. This is very crucial on low to mid horsepower cars and can easily lower 60 foot times. This setup bolts to existing floor pan holes using 0.188 inch thick mild steel CNC machined mounting plates and metric grade 10.9 hardware. The complete cross brace is constructed of 0.120 inch thick rectangular tubing and attaches to the torque arm using 0.250 inch thick mild steel mounting pivot plates with Grade 8 hardware. The torque arm is attached to the supplied cross brace using an Energy Suspension polyurethane bushing setup on both the supplied cross brace and torque arm. Polyurethane was chosen as a mounting point to keep road noise at a minimum and eliminate unwanted clunks found with other setups available. The greaseable polyurethane bushings absorb road irregularities and protect noise from entering the passenger compartment. The rear mounting points feature 0.375 inch thick CNC machined mounting plates and are appropriately drilled to fit your stock rear as well as aftermarket 12 bolt and 9 inch rear end housings. This setup requires no welding or drilling.Torque Arm Benefits:Removes torque arm from transmission tail shaft, protecting transmission from damageEliminates wheel hop and solves traction problemsReduces front end nose dive during brakingAllows for on-car pinion angle adjustmentsPolyurethane bushings designed to keep road noise at a minimumFront mounting point utilizes a greaseable pivot point with instant center adjustmentBolt-on design requires no welding or drillingFeatures:Constructed of 1.250 in. x 0.120 in.
