On my 98 I30, there is a somewhat substantial amount of rust on the front crossmember (correct name?) the one that if you look closely you can see through the bumper. What can i do about this, im hoping i can order a new one and bolt her up, but im guessing if i want it fixed its a job for a welder?


I doubt im the only one with this problem, let me know what you guys do, and is it removable?


Thanks guys

 

I have the same problem on my max.when my uncle changed my tranny he said he was gonna weld some steel into it.are your shifts hard especially 1-2??hopefully this saturday it will be fixed.

 

my shifts aernt too too bad, not great though, i hate my auto, if that helps

 

This isnt my car, but they are prone to rusting really badly. Its the radiator support. That entire section gets replaced with a section from Nissan. Its about 3 feet long. The parts like $127 from Nissan and needs to be welded on each side after the old section is cut out.

 

do you guys think that this can be the reason for my hard shifts???ill have my mechanic also check my motor mounts when he fixes this problem.

 

When I had mine replaced, I didn't notice any difference in my shifts, although my trans was already on the way out at that time, so I may not have noticed any difference either

 

how much did it cost you to get replaced?
