Everytime I launch hard or do a burnout I tear the bolts out of my transmission where the mount goes in. I have fixed the holes. But just tear them out again. What could I do to keep from pulling the threads out again? I thought about wrapping a rachet strap around the transmission and crossmember to help hold it tight. Has anyoe else had this problem?

Cant think of anything

 

How did you fix the holes, with heli-coils? Or did you re-tap the holes to take a larger size bolt? Altho the trans case is aluminum, I've never heard of this before.

Yeah I fixed the old holes with a heli-coil and they ripped out too...

 

weld it up and retap, the ratchet strap wouldn't hurt. use a spohn torque arm, it mounts to the body. or go to ladder bars $$$$
