Looking for x-member difference

[ericarmstrong]

Can anyone describe the difference between the auto and manual cross members?  Looking for any description- mounting points, height, ext....

Height. Waiting for a better response myself

I've been preparing for my ZJ drive-train swap, and from what I've looked at so far the 4speed auto should line up perfectly with the stock auto x member.   While reading further into the swap I started looking at people doing ZJ 42re auto to ax-15 manual swaps. I was surprised to find out that the ax-15 plate and mount bolted directly to the ZJ auto cross-member.  This should mean the eagles auto x-member should be a mod free bolt in for an ax-15 setup ( with plate of course).   It just seems to easy to be true, so I figured someone could pop my bubble on here.

I see there is a part number difference.  And, I don't know what the difference is.

Bubble is popped. Auto x member needs mods. I swapped to manual.

Toueagle installed an AX15 with an auto cross member and had to modify the mount.
