Transmission Mount

[ybkopa]

new bolts, both mounts flush up against each other, hand tightened first, seated correctly. You've done everything correct.

For me there is only 1 conclusion here.

You had the torque wrench set to 100lbs, not 100nM.

Don't be embarrassed, we've all done it

Nah, it was definitely set to 100nM, I've got a fancy GearWrench torque wrench so I'm certain on that

Got the correct length bolts? nothing in the bottom of the hole stopping it by bottoming out.
Maybe just unlucky

Definitely the correct length bolts, they were ordered from the dealer and the part number was correct.

Update: the problem has been resolved. The bolt was going down nearly all the way into the hole before getting any grip onto the threads.

Tried a tap and die set and it didn't do the trick, had a thread repair guy come out today and he used his helicoil kit and now we're all good!

Ahhh yes. I did have that on one of mine. Helicoil has done the job so far. Forgot about that.

I read somewhere that the threaded part (mount on the motor) should be replaced every 3rd time the bolts are removed.
