6598, How many bolts connect the engine to tranny?
Posted by avengerowner23, Aug-17-07 08:27 AM
hey guys, i found out that the shaking i had in the other post was due to the tranny bolts weren't tight....i know there's three, but one of the them broke off the case, so...now im stuck with two, and the car still trimbles a little bit...

Do you think that if i JB weld the bolt hole back on the case that itll hold?

oh and how many bolt are there? Just three?

Two up top, two down low, one on the front near the starter and one on the back about the same level as the cv axle.

yea there should be a total of 6 bolts...if you only know of 3 then i would suggest looking at that VERY closely. you said that one bolt broke off the case? as is bolt snapped off IN the case threads or snapped off a part of your bellhousing? if option one, the only SURE ways to fix it is 1 (easy)- tap it out...2 (much harder)- somehow get a flat tip screwdriver in there and try to wiggle around the edges so that you can get the bolt to thread out (i did this with 3 oil pan bolts...takes a lot of time though). if option two...well then new bellhousing. JB weld seems like the easy way out, but with that bolt holding the engine to the tranny...i would definitely NOT suggest it. just too much stress in that area for you to cut that corner
