LS and LT Transmission Mount Adapter for Cadillac CTS-V T-56/TR-6060
If an LS or LT powerplant is destined for a Cadillac V series chassis, aligning the rails of a performance transmission can become a major challenge, compromising shift feel and component life. This adapter tackles that issue by offering a drivetrain alignment solution in the form of a laser cut crossmember that installs without welding. Computer controlled bending and precision jig welding hold each 3/16 inch steel plate to exact dimensions, maintaining tolerances within thousandths of an inch to cut driveline vibration and prevent premature wear. Every adapter ships with grade eight fasteners and factory torque spec brackets so you can bolt it into place in minutes and focus on tuning rather than adjustments.
Precision Laser and CNC Forming for Accurate Fit
The adapter uses laser cutting to trim 3/16 inch steel plate with exact precision. After cutting each component, computer controlled bending creates a geometry that aligns the LS or LT output flange with the T 56 or TR 6060 input shaft. By holding tolerances within thousandths of an inch, the assembly ensures the driveline runs true and reduces vibration. This level of accuracy also protects universal joints and bearings under heavy torque. Installers can trust the parts to fit perfectly without manual adjustments or trial fits.
Jig Welding Process for Structural Durability
Once the steel plates are formed, each component is locked in a precision fixture for jig welding. This method fixes the parts exactly in place to prevent distortion during welding and preserves the engineered shape of the crossmember. The continuous weld bead distributes loads evenly across the assembly, so it resists flex and fatigue from repeated torque cycles. As torque rises, the welded seams maintain alignment and prevent cracks that could lead to failure. The result delivers a mount that holds true under track or street driving conditions.
Protective Powder Coat Finish for Corrosion Defense
Every adapter receives a black powder coat finish that forms a protective barrier against moisture and road chemicals. The electrostatic application reaches into tight areas and weld seams before a heat cure locks the coating firmly to the steel. Unlike liquid paints that can peel or chip over time, this finish resists abrasion and maintains its matte appearance through years of use. By sealing all bare edges, it prevents rust from forming and spreading. Users benefit from minimal upkeep and a lasting clean surface in any environment.
Comprehensive Grade Eight Fasteners for Effortless Installation
Included with the adapter is a complete hardware set featuring grade eight fasteners and factory torque spec brackets. Every bolt and spacer is sized for the Cadillac CTS V frame rails, so installers can align the crossmember and tighten to precise settings without guesswork. This approach eliminates the need for any welding, cutting, or trial fitting during installation. By following the supplied torque recommendations, the adapter secures with a rattle free fit and consistent performance. The hardware package streamlines the build, saving hours of shop time and letting users move on to tuning.
Carefully designed to maintain precise driveline alignment and deliver reliable performance in your LS or LT swap.
