LS and LT Transmission Mount Adapter for Cadillac CTS-V T-56 and TR-6060
When installing a T-56 or TR-6060 transmission into a Cadillac CTS-V chassis with an LS or LT engine, misaligned rails can turn any swap into a headache, and the Cadillac CTS-V T-56 / standard TR-6060 Trans Mount Adapter delivers a drivetrain alignment solution with a bolt-on crossmember design built to keep alignment true from day one. Crafted from laser cut, CNC bent and jig welded 3/16 steel plate, this adapter holds tolerances within thousandths of an inch to reduce driveline vibration and prevent premature wear. Assembly includes all grade 8 fasteners and mounting brackets sized to factory torque specs, so you can secure the transmission without cutting or welding within minutes of unboxing, while the black powder coat resists corrosion in both street and track environments.
Precision Fabrication Ensuring Exact Transmission Alignment
The adapter begins with a laser cutting process that trims each 3/16 inch steel plate to exact dimensions, followed by computer controlled bending to create flawless geometry. By holding tolerances within thousandths of an inch throughout these stages, the unit guarantees perfect alignment between the LS or LT output shaft and the T-56 or TR-6060 input flange. This meticulous approach reduces driveline vibration and minimizes stress on universal joints and bearings under torque. Consistent part geometry also means every adapter arrives ready to deliver smooth shifting and reliable power transfer from the very first test drive. Installers can proceed with confidence, knowing that the transmission rails will line up precisely without the need for manual fits or adjustments.
Jig Welding for Uncompromised Structural Strength
Once the steel components are formed, they are assembled in a dedicated fixture and locked in place with precision jig welding. This method secures each seam with exact location control, preventing distortion under welding heat and preserving the plate's engineered shape. The continuous bead pattern distributes the high torque loads generated by modern LS and LT engines evenly across the crossmember interface. As a result, the mount resists flexing that could cause misalignment or fatigue cracks during spirited driving or track use. The outcome is a rugged assembly that stands up to repeated load cycles without losing integrity.
Advanced Powder Coating for Long Term Corrosion Resistance
A robust black powder coat is applied to every surface of the adapter, creating a tough protective barrier against moisture, salt, and road chemicals. The electrostatic application ensures full coverage into weld seams and tight corners, then a heat cure locks the finish to the steel with exceptional adhesion. Unlike liquid paint systems that can peel or chip over time, this dry finish resists abrasion from debris and maintains its matte appearance through years of exposure. By sealing off all raw metal edges, the coating prevents rust formation that would otherwise compromise both appearance and performance. Technicians and end users benefit from minimal upkeep, as the surface remains clean and corrosion free in street or off-road environments.
Complete Hardware Kit Streamlining the Installation Process
The adapter ships with a comprehensive hardware package that includes grade 8 fasteners, bushings, and mounting brackets sized specifically for the Cadillac CTS-V frame rails. Every bolt and spacer matches factory torque specifications, so there is no guesswork when securing the unit to the existing crossmember. Installers simply align the adapter, fit the supplied components, and tighten to the prescribed settings to achieve a precise, rattle-free fit. This design eliminates the need for custom welding, grinding, or fabrication, reducing swap time by hours. Whether in a professional shop or home garage, users can complete the transmission fitment quickly and move on to other performance upgrades without alignment concerns.
