Lost Tranny crossmember bolts..
« on: May 16, 2012, 08:02:52 pm »
So I ended up losing the 2 big long bolts that go up through the rear crossmember and the rear of the tranny..
Driving the other night there was a loud clunking sound and it was only when I was rolling fast ish
I took it home and looked and I lost those 2 bolts but the rubber mounts were still there but it seamed like everything had moved to the right a ways, the clunking was the front drive shaft hitting one of the mounts as it went round and round.

So I was wondering if this has happened to any one before lol and where to get the bolts. Like is there something I can order with the new bolts and mounts as a kit ? Or do I just have to find some big bolts that will work.

I haven't had it happen, but I wouldn't drive it with them broken.  Did the bolts come out or where they sheared off.
there isn't a kit for them, what kind of trans are they bolted to?  I am assuming this is your 4x4, so what t-case?

Ya I havent been driving it because my alternator brackets broke too hahah. They were sheared off so theres still some bolt left up in the tranny, I'm probably going to have to drill that out. It's got a 205 t-case and 4 speed standard tranny, I'm not sure the make
