Auto Vs Manual transmission Crossmembers

[RustRatz]

What’s the difference between the two? I have a transmission crossmember that’s stamped MANUAL but my truck is an Automatic. I’m being forced to cut the automatic crossmember to get it out, as the bolt and bolt sleeve on the bushing is stuck solid, and seemingly impossible to cut through the bolt/sleeve. All I’ve been able to find are Manual crossmembers.
Any help?

P.S the truck is a 97’ extended cab 2wd 4.0

I’ll be making a junkyard visit this coming weekend, so hopefully I’ll have this truck up and running soon!

I think they don't swap well. They probably have different mounts and align them to different heights,
Basically what they do is tie the engine/transmission together. Between the motor mounts and transmission mounts it allows a lot of fluctuation between that and the truck frame
