Hey guys, just got my NV5600 back from being rebuilt and the new Valair triple disk installed. Go the clutch and tranny installed and went to bolt up the crossmember and realized the tranny shop forgot the mounting bracket that connects the tranny to the crossmember.

I have one ordered and it will be here Monday but I really need to get the truck running today if possible. If anybody has any ideas on something I could use in between then and now to act as a make shift mounting bracket for 3 days I'd love to hear them. I thought about bolting a 2x4 or something in between there but I'm not going to risk breaking or hurting the tranny or clutch if it's not actually a good idea.

If anybody has any suggestions I'm open for anything that won't risk messing up the tranny or clutch. thanks

I wouldn't risk running without a proper trans mount.

Is there only 1 auto parts store in town?

ask the tranny shop for your back.

Hey guys I need someone with an NV5600 transmission to crawl under their truck and measure the thickness of the mounting plate suppot. This the the little piece directly under the very back of the tranny that connects the tranny to the cross member mount. It looks to be only a bout an inch think possibly. It is the plate that is connected by 4 bolts to the bottom of the tranny and 2 outer bolts that connect the plate to the cross member.

If someone can just measure the thickness of it I would greatly appreciate it. I'm tired of messing with the dealerships and parts stores trying to find one of these so I am just going to fab up my own. It's just a plate of metal. I just need to know how thick to make it. Let me know thanks guys.
