Today I discovered my trans. mount sitting on the trans. without any bolts. Both holes in the transmission casing are completely stripped and there is excessive movement in the bushing. The worn bushing must have eventually caused the holes to strip out from constant torquing back and forth on the bolts? Or the last shop to work on the car... actually, lets not go there. It's very unsettling knowing that my transmission hasn't been attached to the chassis during numerous launches and I hope the drive train hasn't been damaged.
What would be the best solution for this issue other than a new trans. casing? I read many other threads and I'm leaning toward using Heli-Coil inserts in the holes. However, I'm not sure if they'll have enough strength for a mount. Any input is greatly appreciated!
