I'm looking for a torque arm mount to fit my T56 that I swapped into my 87. I think the T56 came out of a 94. Did the mount change at all from 93-02?

Also were the torque arms different lengths or angles for the A4 vs the M6? I thought they were all the same but GM lists two different part numbers. One for the automatic and the other for the manual. I'd like to reuse the stock torque arm from my 87 700r4 auto if that is possible.

 

the auto and manual mounts are very differnt, offset and bolt location. Its the same for 93-02 and I think i read the t5 was the same as the t56 but dont know for certain

 

I realize that the a4 and m6 mounts are different but are all m6 mounts the same? Can an m6 inner mount be used with an a4 outer?

So the torque arms should all be the same?

 

No the bolt paterna are not the same. you cant mix and match the two. all m6's are the same and maybe the m5's as well. the torque arm are the same

 

The difference in the A4 and M6 TAs is that the M6 uses the v6 one which is reinforced where the center bearing is on the 2 piece driveshaft of the short trans 6 cylinder models. This helps to resist bending from hard launches with a V8 stick shift car.

 

Okay, that makes sense. I figured something must be different since there were two different part numbers for the torque arms.
