Smitty says: I feel so futile. I feel used. I feel unappreciated. I
fought that nomenclature battle a few months ago and even got a couple of
guys mad at me. (heaven forbid). People sure got short memorys.
Crossmember: the big iron thing that goes across the car from wheel to
wheel. Transmission support: The smaller iron thing (usually black) that
goes from motor mount to motor mount.
May I suggest to Brian that if he cuts a relief in the rear of a
3sp crossover, that he weld in a closure to the opening to put the
strength back. Flexing of the crossmember is a given and wierd steering
will result.
