Stripped Driveshaft Bolts
Hey guys,
When replacing my transmission the other day, I quickly found out that the driveshaft bolts were only finger tight. I'm not sure if it was because of the torque from my boosted application (will soon be retuning for around 400whp), or if the previous owner didn't tighten them enough.
Regardless, the front driveshaft bolts that connect the transmission to the driveshaft were mangled, so I went and picked up four true grade 8 bolts to replace them.
Anyways, when I went to reinstall them,the adapter plate (if that's what it's called) seems to have a stripped hole.
I was able to get three of the four bolts in and tightened down, but the fourth hole is too stripped out to properly grab the bolt.
Any advice as to where I could find a replacement adapter, or whether or not the three grade 8 bolts and a finger tight fourth should be strong enough.
Let me know!
