Has any hurricane ever crossed over Mexico or Central America from the Caribbean to the Pacific and survived?

That is, have any of these monsters survived as hurricanes and continued on westwards after crossing land? I suppose while over land, they would probably be downgraded to a tropical storm, but has any of them become a hurricane again on the other side?

Yes, and also back the other way too. Here is a list:
Atlantic Hurricane Cesar (July 1996) became Northeast Pacific Hurricane Douglas.
Atlantic Tropical Storm Bret (August 1993) became Hurricane Greg in the Northeast Pacific.
Northeast Pacific Hurricane Cosme became Atlantic Tropical Storm Allison (June 1989).
Atlantic Hurricane Joan (October 1988) became Northeast Pacific Hurricane Miriam.
Atlantic Hurricane Greta (September 1978) became Northeast Pacific Hurricane Olivia.
Atlantic Hurricane Fifi (September 1974) became Northeast Pacific Tropical Storm Orlene.
Atlantic Hurricane Irene (September 1971) became Northeast Pacific Tropical Storm Olivia.
A Northeast Pacific Tropical Storm (September-October 1949) became an Atlantic Hurricane (Storm #10) and made landfall in TX.

oh nevermind, the water is way too cold here to have one last, but we have some storms break off hurricanes but only reach us mildly as thunderstorms.
