1978-1988 G-Body transmission notes

  • Tell BRP your year, make, model and transmission when ordering. The guide names T-56, 4L60E and 4L65E crossmembers as different parts.
  • Automatics need no transmission tunnel changes. A T-56 needs a new shifter hole.
  • Body, body mount and frame variation can still mean clearancing the tunnel or firewall on some cars.
  • On a short shelf frame, drill the frame for the extra crossmember bracket.
  • BRP G-Body headers fit with the T-56, 4L60E, 4L65E, 6L80 and 6L90.
  • The kit does not work with the factory clutch Z-bar, and driveshaft length changes from stock.

G-Body LS transmission mount adapter FAQ

Which G-Body crossmember goes with my transmission?

The G-Body guide says to give BRP your transmission when ordering, because the T-56, 4L60E and 4L65E crossmembers are different. It does not list a G-Body crossmember for the 6L90E, 8L90E or TR-6060.

Does a G-Body need tunnel work for an LS automatic?

Not according to the guide. Automatics fit without tunnel changes, while a T-56 needs a new shifter hole cut.

Will BRP G-Body headers clear a 6L90?

Yes. The guide lists the T-56, 4L60E, 4L65E, 6L80 and 6L90 as transmissions the G-Body headers fit with.

Can I keep the factory clutch linkage with a manual?

No. The guide says the kit will not work with the factory clutch Z-bar.
