Manual cars need a 50mm bolt and automatics take a 45mm bolt?

That's the real mystery to solve.

I'll go for "what are different crossmembers between manual and automatic cars?" Alex. For $3...

Manual driveline loss, 15%. Rogerbox driveline loss, 20%. Manual rear crossmember cross section at e-brake mount: X mm. Rogerbox? X-5 mm. The Rogerbox crossmember is 5 mm thinner because it's protected from all that mean nasty power by the Rogerbox. Just like the torque tube only needing 4 bolts on the TC housing. Those Porsche engineers thought of _everything_.

Hi,
First of all A BIG Thank You for all the help! This Forum is really something
After this reading and some inspection to the car (not easy because I don't have a lift...) i believe I narrow it down to the bolt that holds the emergency brake cables to the rear cross member.
I'm waiting for a vacancy on my mechanics lift to confirm and reinstall it.
I'll post here the result.

Once again, thank you all very very much!

Please explain the increments on the tape measure.

Rob Edwards

It's a metric tape measure, numbers are cm, gradations are mm.

Exactly!!
