Re: crossmember welds
Back in the old days I had a Fiat 124 sedan and I was driving like race driver until the transmission will not stay on the 2nd gear, same as my current issue. Thank you for your offer. I will first take the transmission apart and see the damage. I do have another transmission for parts.

Re: crossmember welds
Yes, there is no work to be done with out having the transmission on the bench. I am already thinking how I will hold the transmission on my chest, under the car and so and so. I remember the day when I got transmission fluid on my hair, nasty. The biggest think is to locate the bad parts inside of the transmission. Sometime is easy sometime is not

Re: crossmember welds
If you know the history of the spare one is good, in my case I replaced a bad one with another bad one, so back to square one.

Re: crossmember welds
I was told it was a good one but who knows. Maybe it was just a selling point.
