I did modify my crossmember to make it a lot easier to install/remove a 5 speed Tremec. Basically i measured about 7 inches from the frame rail and took a reciprocating saw and made the cut... then repeated on the other side...had a friend weld 2 inch angle on the removed crossmember that extended over to the welded in and kinda mocked it back in and drilled holes to bolt it back to the welded crossmember, 2 bolts going front to back, and one bolt top to bottom... not had any problems since, and had to remove the transmission once to replace a defective roll pin that Kiesler had in the shifter(could only shift into 3rd and 4th)... took me about 30 minutes to get the transmission out and on the bench....
Fantastic! If (when) I pull the transmission, I will certainly look into doing something like you did. I'm sure others will also be interested as well.
My transmission sometimes jumps out of 2nd gear when slowing down in that gear, so I do plan on rebuilding it someday.
Thanks!

The ones equipped w/ an automatic tranny had a removable cross-member. Of course then you have to remove part of the exhaust system unless you have a side exhaust.
