Volvo: 1990 244DLA Tranny cross member, cross member, floorboard
QuestionHi Jimmy:
I hope this message finds you well. Thanks for all your previous help!
The tranny cross member on my 1990 244DLA is rotted in the middle. I assume I want to replace it before it rots all the way across.
Question: Do I only need to support the tranny and remove the two bolts on either side to r/r the bracket? Is there anything hidden I need to know about? Is there a rubber mount in this area too?
Question: What other model years have the same part? I hope to find the part used somewhere, but my local junkyard has only offered to remove one from a 240 and not specify year. I'd hate to get it home to find out it doesn't fit.
Thanks and regards,
Dave
AnswerHello Dave! Just support the trans and the X-member should come out easily. 2 bolts on either side and 1 bolt for the rubber mount. All 240's share the same part. Make sure you check the floorboard for rust! I have seen them rot awat at the mounting point for the x-member! I hope this info helps.
