lol, I made one out of a Crown Royal Baggie, mine is kinda ghetto, but it's only on there as a joke.

your shift boot looks a lot better btw, i just think you should coat the fabric in black.

lol the interior is blue. but it was all i had so its just there as a quick fix. im trying to find a stock black boot but you know how that is.

lol +1 for creativity !!

it works. here are some installed pics. the car will be finished monday.

why not just get the manual transmission crossmember? your car is S5, and S5's have both sets of mounting points.

no it doesnt i checked. i wish it did but it doesnt.

hmm, MY car has both... so wierd, this is the second car I found out that hasnt, and the only S5.

Oh yeah, as a tip, my S5 vert was a factory manual, and it had a brace with 4 bolts that bolted up right next to the manual cross member. I asked, and that is where the auto cross member is supposed to bolt up.

lol its fine i thought it was weird also maybe its only the stock 5speed car that has it.

I'm just curious on how exactly you went about pulling a engine and tranny without noticing that the cross member has bolts in it?
I'm calling shenanigans! http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ary/468647.gif
