I think I broke my spohn trans relocation bracket

I was pulling into the walmart over by my apt and the trans mount drug pretty good on a slope i was going real slow but when i was leaving there seemed to be alot of movement when shifting and its too dark to see anything now have to wait till morning. Has anyone done this? Possible i broke some of the bolts not sure can easy outs be used to pull whats left of the bolt out?

I have the eibach pro springs on it so that doesn't help clearance issues any but damn why did they design it so low to the ground?

Relocation brackets are on the rear axle & you said you dragged your trans mount???
Can't see how that is related.

the spohn transmission mount relocates the mounting position doesn't it if not ignore I stated transmission relocation bracket. and just the spohn trans mount. But its not the mount its the torque arm mount the bolt came out does anyone know what the thread size and what not is on this its got the outer bracket the one with the tab that slides into the inner bracket and has the one bolt that bolts in up top.

Depends on which tranny bracket you have. It sounds like you have the bracket which relocated the torque arm off the back of the trans to the new sphon trans bracket - correct? Even with this set up I can't see how you bottomed out and broke anything. The springs you are using don't lower the car that much - what 1.0"?
In your case, is the torque arm mounted with a sperical rod end or a poly bushing?

yes i drag the mount every now and then the mount for the torque arm is a bushing its 2 piece one piece mounts to teh side of the tail the other end slides in a grove on the first piece then bolts in a single spot on top the first mount. I need that bolt size thread type what not so I can bolt it back together. Also I assume this is a dealer only part for the mount for the torque arm so I will be going to moritz tomorrow morning to replace the bushings
