Well, first of all i'm posting this for my friend. Has a very nice integra GSR with c5 shortblock, I/H/E, exedy clutch, act flywheel... I'm not going to bullshit. He beats the living crap out of this car on the road. Loves downshifting to second, driving fast. Now he took it to acura and found out his motor mount snapped out of the chassis(just the bolt) and is just stuck on the tranny.

I find this problem to be very weird and odd. Never heard of something like this happen. Acura told him he needs a new tranny which i think is bullshit. I told him to take it to a machine shop, take that bolt out and get new mounts. I don't know if i did good to describe and post this, but this is what he told me. What do you guys think?

 

WTF...i can't picture the bolt stuck on the tranny. Take a pic and go from there.

 

Very odd, but I guess a bolt got stuck and snapped off in the tranny bell housing.

Of course acura will say to buy a new tranny

yeah just take it to a machine shop.

 

Why not drill out the bolt? I've done it a bazillion times

those bolts are torqued down so hard, a bolt extractor would be the obvious step, but it sounds like that won't work.

the problem will trying to drill it out then is the bolt is stronger than the bell housing

 

Well, you guys helped.. Maybe i'll take it to a machine shop, but if the bolt extractor wont work, i guess he will have to say hello new tranny.
