rdp2n Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 The further complication is that I broke off the starter drill bit (1/32?) in the center of the broken bolt (which is flush with the trans housing). Now I can't drill any further to get in with an EZ-Out. As the French might say Quelle Bummeur!! -- and the job started out with at least some hope. Of the 4 trans mounting bolts it's the one on the driver's side on the underneath. Would it be OK to install and run with 3 bolts? (I'm ordering new transmission mounts and new bolts).

johnegg Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 i feel like a missed something. let's review, you are working on a 95 lego trans swap and you have a busted trans to engine bolt? which one, the one right under the starter or the one on the bottom corner by the axle? how busted?

rdp2n Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 Sorry -- I'm talking about the bolts connecting these bad boys to the transmission: http://www.ebay.com/ctg/DEA-TTPA-A6710-Transmission-Mount-/74988688# http://www.ebay.com/ctg/DEA-TTPA-A6708-Transmission-Mount-/77028699 Each one of these transmission mounts is installed on the rear/underside of the trans housing by 2 bolts. After a combination of incompetence and screw-ups I proposing to use 3 out of the 4. Will I be OK? Thanks, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnegg Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 if 3 is what you have then i guess you go with 3. 4 would be better. long term you may have issues, i don't know. how much time and money to remove / repair the busted bolt? left handed drill bits are your friend for busted bolts.
