LS and LT Trans Mount Adapter for Cadillac CTS-V T-56 TR-6060
Swapping an LS or LT powerplant into a Cadillac CTS-V chassis often runs into frame rail and gearbox misalignment issues, and the Cadillac CTS-V T-56 / standard TR-6060 Trans Mount Adapter solves this by bolting securely to the original crossmember without any cutting or reshaping. Constructed from 3/16 steel plate that is laser cut, CNC bent, and jig welded, it maintains exact dimensions to reduce drivetrain vibration and wear under load. Included fasteners and mounting brackets fit factory torque specs for the CTS-V rails, so installation is straightforward for seasoned techs or hobbyists. Finished in corrosion resistant black powder coat, this adapter delivers a drivetrain alignment solution that stands up to daily driving or track duty.
Precision Laser Cutting and CNC Bending for Uniform Transmission Alignment
The adapter's 3/16 steel plate is cut by laser and formed with CNC bending to hold tolerances within thousandths of an inch. This disciplined process ensures the LS or LT output shaft lines up perfectly with the CTS-V T-56 or TR-6060 input, reducing misalignment and driveline vibration. Consistent part geometry across every unit prevents stress on universal joints and transmission bearings, promoting smoother power delivery under load. By maintaining exact dimensions in each batch, installers can trust that the transmission will shift crisply and perform reliably from the first test drive onward.
Jig Welded 3/16 Steel Plate Delivering Rigidity Under Torque
After cutting and bending, the adapter sections are jig welded to lock the steel plate into a single, rigid assembly. The 3/16 thickness absorbs and distributes high torque forces generated by LS and LT engines, eliminating flex that can lead to fatigue cracks or misalignment in demanding driving conditions. Jig fixtures hold each weld precisely, so the plate maintains its designed shape without distortion during fabrication. This robust construction translates into a durable mount that withstands repeated track sessions or spirited street driving without hesitation.
Corrosion-Resistant Powder Coating Maintaining Durable Finish
A black powder coating is applied through an electrostatic process, then baked to form a tightly bonded finish that resists chips and abrasion from road debris. This protective layer seals out moisture, salt, and harsh chemicals, preventing rust from forming on raw steel surfaces. Unlike conventional paint that may flake over time, the powder coat holds fast to edges and weld seams, greatly reducing maintenance needs. The result is a clean, matte appearance that endures through years of exposure in street or off-road environments.
Bolt On Installation Streamlining Cadillac CTS-V Engine Swaps
This adapter bolts directly to the factory crossmember without the need for cutting or custom welding, saving hours of fabrication work. A comprehensive hardware kit includes grade-8 fasteners, bushings, and mounting brackets sized to the original torque specifications for CTS-V rails. Installers simply align the adapter, secure the fasteners to factory settings, and drop in the transmission for a precise fit. The straightforward approach makes the swap accessible to experienced shops and dedicated hobbyists alike, delivering a dependable drivetrain solution right out of the box.
Engineered for precise fitment and lasting reliability in LS and LT swaps.
