This might be a good time for me to chime in. I'm smack in the middle swapping a 5MT into my SVX. Well, actually my mechanic is smack in the middle of it. :-) I bought the Small Car 5MT swap kit, and we're using those parts where it is useful. We've both decided that the Small Car tranny x-member solution is not very good (as many others have also decided). My mechanic is very good with metal working, and he's working on a x-member design that will utilize the 4EAT x-member, and not require any drilling into the body of the car. The x-member will bolt to the front suspension as it does with Subafreak's design, and it will also bolt to the 4EAT x-member. The x-member will also clear the stock cats. My mechanic expects that his solution will be very stout. He should have mine done within a week. If you folks are interested, he can make up some extra sets for you folks. Sorry, he doesn't have an idea of the price yet. Let me know if you are interested.
