I was wondering if anyone has an extra engine crossmember.....pass side that the 2 motor mounts bolt to....

I changed the front motor mount yesterday b/c it's been out for a while and started causing problems....make the stort short...
When I would floor it from a start...throught 1st gear....and let off the gas, the car would still accelerate. It ended up being the throttle cable was getting stuck on one of the braces on the underside of the hood when the engine settled back down. Changed the motor mount and when I did...I notice the crossmember it bolts to was cracked about 3/4 of the way down and was flexing like crazy under accelation. So, therefor I need to get a new one from one of you guys or if I would have a better chance looking in salvage yard or even getting a friend to weld the crack back together. Please help if you have one laying around. I would pay shipping too if it's not too much for shipping and the part.
Thanks...Blake

 

well, if you weld it it will probably be cheaper and you will have the comfort of knowing it will never break on the weld if it is done right.

 

yeah...I thought of that and my friend has a welder at his house w/ a coupl;e years experiance, plusit'll be free....

I'm just get scared driving it around w/ the chance of it breaking completely and the engine falling out.

 

Get that thing welded or replaced fast. My crossmember broke while I was driving.

 

what i dont understand is how that crossmember even gets broken like that.

 

uh oh...might that be the crack-like sound i hear when i accelerate hard??
