Ive been having a problem with my bellhousing cracking on my 700r4 in my 88 iroc.
what would cause it to crack all the way across the housing and about 1/4 of the way down the case. i thought it was a fluke at first but its done it 3 times now, and after the 2nd time i had it welded back and i had 1" wide and 5" long braces welded on for added strength but it broke them as well.
so do i have a suspension problem, to much power, or something else.
anybody with some insight on the issue would be great.

thanks
joseph

 

Are you running solid mounts??

 

nope, do i need to?
i have a set of Moroso solid mounts

 

Common causes are improper converter installation, excessive vibration cause by too stiff of trans mounts and improperly bolting on the bellhousing

 

Im running regular transmission mounts, the transmission was bolted properly.
could the engine mounts have gone bad? could that be where the vibrations are coming from?
