Trans mount bolts keep comming out, why does it make me lose power?

2 questions


1. Why do my trans mount bolts, the ones that go into the trans. keep comming out? I tighting them up pretty good and use a locking washer... I might just contact Stage 8 and see if they have a bolt that well fit it.


2. When my trans mount is losse it seem like i am loosing a ton of power, am i breaking something or what?

If your trans is loose and banging around the PCM could be detecting false knock from it and retarding your timing. I don't know why the bolts would be coming out if they are torqued down right along with lock washers unless they are the wrong bolts or stripped possibly. Are you sure it's not a broken trans mount causing it to bang? That's pretty common with the stock mounts. If it is the bolts still coming loose I would try some locktite.

yeah

it isnt a bronk mount the bolts just keep falling out, ill try locktite this time around.

The bolts are pretty worn, they started to come lose after i put the new mount on last year , maybe i am just not tourqing them down enuf,


i dont think it is knock making me lose power, the lose is only during launching really, i was thinking maybe something was binding...iduno
