I've searched everywhere. looks like 93-97 v6 manuals and autos used the same crossmembers. What about 98-02, I think autos and manuals are different but are they the same as v8's? Spent over three hours searching now!

The t-5 crossmember is different than the t-56 crossmember. There is one mounting hole for the t-5 trans mount where there are three holes for the t-56 trans mount. The location of the trans mount holes are slightly different. The main difference is where the crossmember bolts to the car. The passenger side lines up with the v6 mounting position, but the driver's side mounting holes on the body are a few inches forward of where the v8 brace comes in.
I mounted my t-56 crossmember by bolting on the passenger side, and completely cut off the drivers side leg of the brace. I then bolted on the drivers side to the car and tacked some plate between the two pieces of the crossmember. Then I removed the crossmember and put it on the work bench to finish welding it up. It actually worked pretty well, and everything bolts right up.
The V8 auto is a direct bolt-in replacement for the V6 T5 on a 96. No modification necessary. Then installed a 1LE trans mount - also a direct bolt-in.
