Stripped the Transmission mount bolts...
So now what happens?
Let me clarify, The 4 for the rear motor mount. I see the slots in the frame to get to them, but cant figure out what to use... Thanks, PiP Last edited by PiP; 08-21-2002 at 11:51 PM.

Helicoil or replace, depending upon what you stripped. The plate on the rear of the engine is separate, so you can replace that if those are the ones you stripped. The nuts for the rear mount may come out of the back (or front) of the slot, look around and see.

Hmm, on closer inspection (after my tirade of profanity and tool throwing of course) it is the tabs that have broken of of the bolts in the slots.
i.e. the tabs that keep the nuts from spinning have broken, thus I have a spinning nut, and cant fit a wrench to hold it... I am sure I will figure something out, but does anyone have any ideas? I tried every tool I own, including two different vice grips, I think I am going to buy some angles needlenose vice grips and try that. Thanks! PiP

Vise Grips:
The thin jaw vise grip want to spread, so if you can get the regular on it you are better. If vise grip don't do it about all that is left is to cut notch in bolt and use impact driver {not air impact} to get it out.Good luck.Charlie

You might also be able to get a large screwdriver in there and jam the nut enough to allow you to get it off.

As a last resort you can get or borrow a hand grinder and grind the heads off the bolts. Please use a face shield and make sure you are NOT in the "line of fire" should the abrasive wheel come apart -- we had this happen at work this week, and the contractor said it is a fairly common event. Usually doesn't result in injury, but be prepared.
