**** that sucks!!



I buy tools for certain projects and forget I even have them until after I've used the wrong ****** tool and wasted hours and lost pints of blood....

I use my tap & die set at least once every time I go in the garage, I think it's the most used tool I have.



clean threads are a joy to work with, and anti-seize does wonders for when you have to take things apart next time.

well guess what, I went to weld, and dammit, the tranny is aluminum and the Y section is iron, I was able to weld it at low amps, but I won't hold. I'm gonna have to use this JB weld type stuff, its the same deal, a chemical weld but a lot stronger, the best on the market. Ah more fun..

this doesnt sound right at all, you're scaring me 1revvin7



why not pull off the mount, clean up the welding mess, and get the busted bolts out.



go get some new bolts and do it right?





with all the time, money, and effort you're putting into this swap I would imagine that you want it done nicely....



you should be able to get the bolts out and clean up the threads then get new ones.

Relax and think about what you just said you were going to do.

Now take the time and remove it and make it right, you dont mess with

a transmission mount, its not a pair of speakers or some **** your dealing with here.



Too often in a project people get frustrated and do a hack job, just relax and gather yourself together. Take a break perhaps.
