UMI Performance 82-92 GM F-Body Torque Arm Relocation Kit - 4L60E - Red

Relocate the Torque Arm Tunnel Mount in Your 1982-1992 F-Body for 4L60E Transmission Fitment with the UMI 2261-R

The UMI Performance 2261-R is a torque arm relocation kit for 1982-1992 GM F-Body Camaro and Pontiac Firebird applications running or swapping to a 4L60E automatic transmission. The factory third-gen F-Body tunnel mount was designed for the 700R4 and T5 and is not compatible with the longer 4L60E without a mount position correction.

The UMI 2261-R provides a fully welded, red powder coated steel crossmember and mount bracket that moves the front torque arm mount to the correct location for 4L60E fitment, ensuring the torque arm runs parallel to the driveshaft at the proper angle without bind or interference. This kit is required for any 82-92 F-Body running a 4L60E transmission with a UMI tunnel-mount torque arm system. The red powder coat finish provides under-car visual distinction and corrosion resistance. Manufactured at UMI Performance's Philipsburg, Pennsylvania facility.

Frequently Asked Questions

The UMI 2261-R is a torque arm relocation kit for 1982-1992 GM F-Body Camaro and Pontiac Firebird builds using a 4L60E automatic transmission. It relocates the front torque arm tunnel mount to the correct position for 4L60E fitment, finished in red powder coat. It is functionally identical to the 2261-B black version.

The factory third-gen F-Body tunnel mount was built for the 700R4 and T5 transmissions. The 4L60E is longer, which shifts the front torque arm mount point forward relative to the factory tunnel location. Without relocating the mount, the torque arm cannot achieve the correct parallel geometry to the driveshaft, which causes bind, noise, vibration, and premature drivetrain wear. The UMI 2261-R provides the correctly positioned mount for 4L60E geometry.

The 2261-R and 2261-B are functionally identical. The 2261-R has a red powder coat finish and the 2261-B has a black powder coat finish. Both are welded steel brackets with the same dimensions and bolt pattern. The choice is aesthetic based on preference for under-car appearance.

The UMI 2261-R fits all 1982-1992 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models. It is intended for use with the 4L60E automatic transmission and a UMI tunnel-mount torque arm system.

No. The UMI 2261-R is a bolt-in installation that requires no welding, cutting, or chassis modification. Standard hand tools are sufficient for installation.

The 2261-R is designed for the 4L60E automatic. Contact UMI Performance directly for confirmation of compatibility with T56 or other manual transmission applications on the 82-92 F-Body platform.

The UMI 2261-R is manufactured by UMI Performance in Philipsburg, Pennsylvania. All UMI chassis and drivetrain components are produced in the USA.

The 2261-R is designed to work with UMI's tunnel-mount torque arm systems for the 82-92 F-Body with the 4L60E. Refer to the UMI Performance compatibility guide or contact UMI directly to select the correct torque arm for your rear axle and transmission combination.

1. Safely lift and support the vehicle on jack stands with adequate clearance to work under the car.
2. Remove the driveshaft as needed to access the torque arm front tunnel mount area.
3. Remove the existing factory or installed torque arm front tunnel mount hardware.
4. Position the UMI 2261-R bracket in the tunnel, aligning it with the provided mounting hole locations per the UMI installation instructions.
5. Install provided hardware and snug without final torquing until the torque arm is positioned and alignment is confirmed.
6. Install the torque arm into the relocated mount and verify it runs parallel to the driveshaft.
7. Torque all fasteners to 40 to 50 ft-lbs on the torque arm mount side per UMI's specification.
8. Reinstall the driveshaft and verify no interference exists through the full range of suspension travel.
9. Lower the vehicle and confirm operation before driving.
