Stripped Transmission Mount Bolt
1 Attachment(s)
Transmission mounting bolt spins in the hole.
I think that cutting into some sheet metal from the inside is in order... The other passenger-side bolt partially stripped also so I will need to get two nuts in there. Anyone else have this issue and solved it? Attachment 655925 I tried searching and didn't come up with anything. If you have a link to share, please do. Thanks in advance. |
you could try a thread chaser... if that doesn't work, you could try tapping it out to the next larger size

Helicoil, a ten minute fix that takes you back to original.
|
Are you trying to remove that bolt, or install it?
|
+1 for helicoil. keep original bolt size and it will be stronger than stock
|
You need to pry on the mount as you spin the bolt. A drill or air wrench will make this much easier.

I've had to do this on my car and wasn't fun, I didn't run into any issues though.
What I did when I put them back in is I put them in loosely enough so it could move around enough to line up with where it needed to be , however the metal mount that is bolted to the transmission itself with two bolts and stud coming down was much more of a pain, I'm sure there's an easier waay then how I did it.

I don't know if the threads stripped or if the nut spun... |

Thank you everyone. I think that I am going to grind the head off of the last bolt and see where that gets me.
I will then have to come from the inside, probably with a hole-saw, to remove what is left of the bolt. I feel like if I cut a hole, then I may as well replace the nuts that are in there.
