you may not have the correct length bolts in, common mistake

in the service manual, it says you should replace all of the bolts you take out because they are self-locking. At 7$+ each, use blue loktite instead. Most likely the vibration is making them come out. Were they torqued to spec?

Mine didn't come out after i re-installed my tranny tho.

JDM_SOHC

naa dude they were torqued to spec and everything an still came out, i dont understand if it was vibration how come everyones wouldnt fall out?? lol ya kno what im sayin... nothing vibrates til like 3-4 weeks after i re-tighten the bolts, than my car starts to shake when i take off from a stop.. even though i've never replaced any of the bolts before id still need new ones??

Use blue loctite. Make sure the surfaces are as clean as a whistle with no oil on them.

never touched the tranny before but do u guys use the little washer spring thingy's? (cant think of the name for them at the moment)

k i cleaned my bolts very good an made sure they were nice an dry, loc-tite'd up with the blue stuff an retightened... also found my rear tranny mount was mad crazy loose, an on my rear wheels on the assembly that bolts onto the end of the trailing arm, the bolt was sticking all the way almost so i did the same for that one...

Edit: The car is running perfect now with no shake at all since I tightened bolts up...

I had the same problem, except I didn't fix it in time and the vibration poped the center of my new clutch out!!!!

in your sig, it looks like you have an upgraded clutch which is probably causing alot more vibration than a stock clutch leading to the bolts loosening. Thats just my logical deduction. The locktite should fix it.

That's wierd, I never knew that you had to replace those bolts after you take them out. My old civic we pulled the tranny 4 times and used the same bolts 4 times and not a single issue with them loosing back out. And at $7 a bolt wow thats crazy! Your problem might be somewhere else, and I'm sure an aftermarket clutch isn't going to do anything. The car's been running a Clutch Specialty Stage 3 for 2 years and still not an issue.

yeah its nuts man, i have no clue though cuz i hear this n i hear that, an if i knew what was wrong i wouldnt be asking questions ya know... it just seems like i always get stuck with the weirded issues possible man i swear..

yeah i know what you mean.

did you torque them down right. once (when i was alot younger), i misread in/lb torquing specs for ft/lb. yeah, needless to say i broke the bolts right off.

not to question you intelligence in any way, but mistakes happen sometimes.

JDM_SOHC

naa dude no offense taken at all, i hear u 100% its an easily mistakable thing to do but my dad like hounded me growing up about spec's an all that so im handy with the torque wrench thats my whole thing, im doing it right but its still happening so man u gotta believe me when i tell u how frusterated i am lol... i just wish my **** would stay clean an run great but unfortunetely that isnt the glory road for all of us haha...

B18CivicEH2

that actually happened to me once with my driver side mount.....bolt was coming loose and then i just retighten then really fcking hard...havent had probs since....maybe you should add like an extra 7-10 lbs on with the wrench...i never really did go by the specs given on the service manual...i just tighten them really hard

JDM_SOHC

yeah bro i think thats what ima just do, throw some blue loc-tite on n just BLAMMMMM, ill be super do0per pissed if i crack the case housing though hahaha... i wont do it THAT tight but ima make sure whoever buys my car next has an impact gun to get'm off lol...
