LS and LT Transmission Mount Adapter for Cadillac CTS-V
When fitting an LS or LT transmission into a Cadillac CTS-V chassis, getting the T-56 or standard TR-6060 rails to align can be a frustrating obstacle. The Cadillac CTS-V T-56 / standard TR-6060 Trans Mount Adapter solves that by using a laser cut crossmember paired with computer controlled bending and precision jig welding on 3/16 inch steel plates. By holding tolerances within thousandths of an inch it reduces driveline vibration and protects universal joints under heavy torque loads. Installers receive grade eight fasteners and factory torque spec brackets so they can bolt the assembly in place without welding and move on to tuning.
Exact Transmission Alignment with Laser Cut and CNC Bent Crossmember
The adapter begins with laser cutting each 3/16 inch steel plate to ensure edges remain square and dimensions match the CAD model exactly. After cutting, computer controlled CNC bending forms precise angles that align the output flange on LS and LT engines with the input shaft of T 56 and TR 6060 transmissions. Maintaining tolerances within thousandths of an inch virtually eliminates misalignment and reduces vibration under torque. With the driveline centerline held true, universal joint wear is minimized and shift feel stays consistent without the need for custom shims or fitment tweaks.
Jig Welding for Consistent Structural Integrity
Once each component is bent, it is locked into a precision fixture for jig welding, preventing any distortion that could occur from heat and manual fixturing. This process secures the crossmember geometry as designed, ensuring weld seams form exactly along intended planes. The continuous weld bead evenly distributes stress across the steel plates, allowing the mount to resist fatigue under repeated torque cycles. As a result, the assembly retains its shape and strength through street driving or track use, delivering a robust foundation for demanding applications.
Durable Powder Coat Finish for Corrosion Resistance
Following welding, the entire assembly is treated with an electrostatically applied powder coat before undergoing a high temperature cure. This finish bonds tightly to the steel surface, reaching into weld seams and tight corners to seal any bare metal from moisture and road chemicals. Unlike traditional paint, the powder coat resists chips and abrasion, preserving a uniform matte black appearance over years of service. By blocking rust at cut edges and welded joints, this coating minimizes maintenance and maintains a clean look even in harsh conditions.
Seamless Installation with Complete Hardware Kit
Every adapter ships with grade eight fasteners and factory torque spec brackets tailored for Cadillac CTS-V frame rails, allowing installers to bolt the crossmember directly in place without welding or cutting. Detailed torque recommendations ensure a precise, rattle free connection. With all mounting hardware included, the setup process becomes a straightforward bolt-in operation that saves shop time and eliminates guesswork. Technicians can focus on final tuning rather than fabrication, making LS or LT swaps more efficient and reliable.
Engineered to maintain exact alignment and delivered with complete hardware, this adapter ensures smooth operation and long service life in your LS or LT swap.
