im puttin my new engine in my 92 xj and when i went to lower the tranny i broke one of the bolts that holds the trans crossmember up. i dont have accesss to a air hammer or any power tools right now. would it be a bad idea to to drive a little with one broke so i can get it to were i work and fix it

No problem.

same thing happened to me a month ago and i only have 3 holding it up instead of 4 and ive had no problems, ive done some serious flexing, offroading , mudding and its still attached

Well i would fix that before u break the other ones.

im not sure how im going to do it, i dont feel like drilling it out, its a lot of work.

I've been driving for months with a broken off crossmember bolt.

It has not given me any probs at all. Someday I'm gonna drill an new hole next to the old bolt and tap it for a new bolt.

i dint think it would be a prob but just wanted to be sure. im thinking that ill try and knock the old one out with an air hammer. then just fish a new bolt up there and snug it up with a impact wrench
