Make certain the 2 trans mounts are good and not collapsed. If not, it will knock out the bushing in the crossmember if the mounts have settled.

Crossmember from the S4, either Turbo or N/A as they are different. When you use the S4 crossmember it will bolt correctly to the frame and existing S4 trans mounts.
